Is $300.00 a month a lot for child support?

Question

Just wondering if making my child's father pay $300.00 a month is fair?

Answer

Depends on how much he earns. There is a formula that courts go by

Answer

Better than what the state offered me 😂

$23/month

Then he agreed to pay $275.

Answer

It depends on what the cost of living is in your area.  It might be a lot in some places or way too little in others.  In my city,  300$ a month ain't shit. That covers maybe groceries and a few bucks towards gas or something.  Child support is meant to support the child's whole life,  a portion towards food,  a portion towards rent,  a portion towards bills.  Etc  basically a portion towards everything needed for that child to have a safe home and food security.

Answer

Your state judicial site should have a child support calculator (or form to do it). Try that and see.

Answer

More than that would be fair.

Answer

Depends on his earnings.

Answer

In Illinois it's 20% of income. I get $400 for my daughter. My second daughter should get around $1300, because her dad makes way more money.

Answer

Depends on your and his salery... We pay 540$/ month for my hubby's first daughter. We had to pay more when she decided to go back to school.

Answer

Not only is it based on his earnings but also the time spent with child..I get 65$😂😂😂 because we had 50/50 custody and both payed babysitter .

Answer

We pay 1500 a month
