"You have children, and unfortunately you are going through a divorce, and it appears you are the primary wage earner in your family, and you have figured out that you are probably going to have to pay child support. Hello, I am Robert Todd, and I am here to answer the question, how much do I have to pay in child support. Well this of course is going to vary from state to state depending on the state in which you live, and their particular child support guidelines. But at this point in time, all fifty states have child support guidelines. Generally, the way this is determined is you and your spouse complete financial affidavits, you list your incomes, you list the requisite deductions from those incomes, and you arrive at a particular line of income after deductions. You then add these incomes together, and then based on your relative income to the total combined income and the number of children, you look at the guidelines and it determines how much child support you are going to pay. I am Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
