Question

I have my court date for child support in another month...what can I expect in this case...HOw much will I get if he makes about 45,000 and I made 26,000 last yr and about 28,000 this yr?

Answer 1

In NY they use this calculator to determine support:

Plug in your figures (since number of children DOES matter and you did not include that in your question.)

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

200 a month if that!!!!! a lot of women think going to court for child support is going to get them lots of money..i hate to break it to you...IT WONT...they take money from him, take their fees and then send u the left overs which isnt much to begin with...many may not agree with me but if possible, it may be easier to make an agreement without getting the courts involved...but obviously that wasnt possible if ur taking him to court...anyway, u wont get much...it has nothin to do with how much u make either, just how much he makes, how many kids he has etc....
