Child Support Calculations Under Various State Laws Reveal Widely Varying Amounts
Editor's Note:This article outlines essential elements for the calculation of child support under the statutory schemes in New York, Florida, Pennsylvania and Washington. Each section includes a calculation of child support for one child assuming the residential or custodial parent earns an income of $50,000 and the non-residential parent earns $100,000. The monthly child support obligation ranges from a high of $1,422 per month in Florida (without any time-sharing adjustment) to a more modest monthly amount (which is dependent upon the age of the child) ranging between $816 and $1009 in Washington. New York's statute produces a monthly child support amount of $1,308.29 and Pennsylvania calculates child support at $1,078 per month.
