If you’re in the middle of a divorce and you expect to gain full custody of your children, you’re probably wondering how much child support you’ll receive from your ex. It’s very important to ensure children of divorced parents continue their lives as normally as possible, and properly taking care of them financially is one essential aspect of accomplishing this.
Child support amount factors
Child support orders vary widely depending on various factors, including how many children there are, tax filing status of the parents, monthly income, the that the child is in each parent’s custody and control, child care costs, other mandatory expenses, and many other factors.
If you and your ex can’t work out child support terms between the two of you, you will have to go to divorce court. There, a judge will determine what amount of child support would be equitable based on the factors listed above and others.

Dependence on child support payments
