Re: Child support
Child support is usually a percentage of your gross monthly income (income before taxes).
In addition, in setting child support, the court can take into account the number of other biological children that you may have and are supporting, the cost of health insurance and possibly your amount of time with the child, etc.
There is also a child support "ceiling" depending upon how much you make.
So, it's difficult to say how much a "normal child support payment" would be.
