what are calculations for child support? It is usually a strict percentage.
if you have any education, the judge (at least in my experience with courts) will look at what you are most likely able to make (not neccessarily what you DO make) to divide other areas...
so for example, I am a teacher with a masters degree...my current salary is $36,000. However, in MN (where I live) with my experience and degree I COULD be making 55,000 so that figure will get used
SAHM get sort of screwed in the whole scenario. You are lucky to be getting SS...it is usually not awarded here no matter how long you have been together and if it is, it is awarded for a very short time (like a year) in order for the SAHP to get on their feet.
I get $440 a month for two kids...and he owes over $60,000 in back child support. Fun times
