You can use the tables to determine the child support amount for the first $150,000. If you choose this option, you would only need to calculate the paying parent’s income. Then add the percentage listed in the tables for the portion of income over $150,000. The Federal Guidelines provide two options: If the paying parent earns more than $150,000 per year, you may need to calculate both incomes. your child is at or over the age of majority and the way you decided to calculate child support is different from the way you would calculate it if the child were under the age of majority. either of you has claimed undue hardship. there are special or extraordinary expenses. one of you is the parent and the other acted in the place of a parent to the child. You will need to calculate both of your incomes if: When information about your income is required, you have a legal obligation to provide it. In other cases, both parents’ incomes will be needed. 
In some situations, only the income of the paying parent will be required. It may be a good idea to get help from a third party such as an accountant or a legal adviser. The receiving parent is also expected to help support the children financially based on their capacity to pay.Ĭalculating the income on which to base child support can be complicated, especially if you are self-employed or your income fluctuates a lot. Even if you only need to calculate the paying parent’s income in your situation, you both have an obligation to support your children.
