Re: iowa child support

You can figure it out for yourself. The uniform child support guidelines are set out in the Iowa Rules of Court and they are available through the legislature's website. They use a formula that is based on your net income and the net incomes of the custodial parents. Look in chapter 9.

The amount deducted for two children can be substantial, and arrearages are on top of that.
