Under the laws of all states in this country the amount of child support ordered is based upon county guidelines where the case is venued and such is based upon the net monthly income of each party. Your net monthly income is going to be reduced by the costs that you have associated with other children that you have and your associated costs in supporting them on a monthly basis.
