All States have different laws for Child Support. This includes the amount to be paid by the non-custodial parent. The difference is from 35% to 70% of income depending on the State you live in. There are many other aspects to consider, including welfare, housing, health. A non-custodial parent that pays out 65% in Child Support and taxes can not afford health insurance, rent/mortgage and other bacis needs. The custodial parent may even get food stamps and assisted housing while recieving Child Support. The non-custodial parent does not qualify for the same because the Adjusted Gross income is only considered when the Adjusted Income raises. Never a lower Adjusted Income is looked at for any public assistance. We need fair balance from State to State.
