re: Child support payments

Child support in Louisiana is mainly based on the combined income of the 2 parents. Once you have that number the court will determine what percentage you make of the combined monthly income . ie: combined 100K annually. you make 60K/annually and your ex makes 40k annually. You are responsible for 60% of the child support.

Then you can go look on the support guideline chart and find out what the support is for your combined income and you owe 60% of that number.Other things that come into consideration is the amount of time you have your child and health insurance
