Most states use an income shares model — both parents' incomes are combined and split proportionally. Factors include number of children, custody arrangement, healthcare, and childcare costs.
If support isn't being paid, the court can garnish wages, intercept tax refunds, suspend licenses, and even pursue contempt charges. An attorney can accelerate enforcement action.
Support can be modified when either parent's financial situation significantly changes — job loss, income increase, or changed custody. File a petition promptly; modifications are rarely retroactive.
