The court can order you to pay according to your earning capacity. In other words, if you have the experience or skill to get a job that pays a certain amount, they could base the child support on that amount if the other side properly raises that issue and puts on evidence.
If you have no experience of particular skills, you support will likely be based on the minimum wage.
There are many additional factors which enter into the calculation.
