The percentage of your paycheck that will go to child support depends on factors like your gross income, the number of children you have, and the amount of time you spend with your children. If you only have one child, and you agree to 50/50 custody, your support payments will probably be quite small. You can usually expect them to be less than 15% of your paycheck.
On the other hand, if you have three or four children, and intend to leave the vast majority of the parenting to your former partner, your support payments will be much higher. They may account for more than 35% of your paycheck.
