If the child is under five years old, you probably should not "settle" for less than $200,000.00 or 25% of the father's gross annual salary times the number of years until the child turns eighteen, whichever is higher. If he makes $20k pewr year now, don't settle for less than the $200k. If the child is an infant, and the father makes $50k per year, don't settle for less than $225k.
Good luck
