For child support, stick with the average for your area. Ask the custodial parents you know what they receive and what their ex´s gross wages are. A good guideline is 13% of her gross wages for the first child and 3% of her gross each for every other child.
Courts may be unfair to custodial fathers, so do the calculations and let the judge know you know what the figures are.
