Yes, general guidelines for child support are no less than 40% of the noncustodial parent's income if there are 5 or more children. This percentage may differ depending upon the laws of the state where the child/children reside. The rules also differ if multiple children reside in different households and/or parents share equal physical custody. In some cases the amount of support can be based on earning potential rather than the actual present income.
Yes. But child support is still dependent on your income, no matter how many children you have.
The custodial parent usually has to pursue child support before being granted access to welfare, so it is important, even if the non-custodial parent doesn't have the money - to make sure that all paperwork is up to date, so that the children are taken care of.
If the non-custodial parent find themselves unemployed, or injured, or unable to make ends meet - they may request a hearing at any time to review the amount being paid.
In general, child support is a percentage of net income. When calculating support for younger children, support actually ordered and paid for older children is subtracted from net income.
No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!

You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to. If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.
Yes, for the 2 in the other state, but the mother has to pay support for the 1 child you have, so most likely a judge would order you to pay the support for one child and call it even. If there are other issues like health insurance and other costs, then a judge will work out a payment that takes into account the child you are caring for. A father should want to support his children because he cares for them and not because the law forces him to.But, the difference in income may affect this, though the gender of the parent may be taken into account. If the father had two children, but learned more. he would pay more for child support than the mother would. Sole custody fathers can still be ordered to pay child support. This is very common in California, but can be done in every state using a rebuttable presumption. Though they should, mothers are not held to the same level of obligation, nor pay it in 95% of the cases when they are.
If that is the only child you share, then you will have to pay him child support. If there are two children, then you two will break even and no one will pay child support. If there are more than two children, then the amount of support will have to be re-calculated and he should pay you less.
Yes, a person who has 11 or more children will still have to pay child support. If there are multiple mothers to these children, their amounts may be small if there are several parties that are being paid separately.
If you live in the US... Parents are required to financially support ALL their children. So if you have more than one child, you will pay child support for more than one child. Did that answer your question? I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.

no because if you had a baby with another man your ex husband does not pay you with more child support because that is not his child
