Only if you are a former pro athlete

LDR: if you and the ex are still on decent terms, just sit down and come up with something you both agree upon that won't break you. The court will uphold that amount as long as both parties agree to it.
This is true too.

You obviously didn't read the thread that all marriages should last forever and only assholes get divorced?

Thought it was based and set according to your previous year's (or couple years maybe) income. If you make more in the future she can bring you to court and resettle. I may be mistaken.

Formula takes into account your income, her income, and children's insurance. In case your wondering, future spousal income has no being.

you sound poor

Why are you just now trying to figure out support for a child but married already. You are married now but the cs is for a previous lady? You just found out bout the kid? Moved on fast? No knocking. Im just curious.

Your current wife's income will not be considered. Only you and the Ex.

Just went through this...
The only way your current spouses income would matter is if it is considerably more than yours. To the point that you could take a job making way less and it not affect your household, thus making it possible to have you child support payments reduced.
Best advice I can give you is to just stay peaceful with the ex. She can make your life hell dealing with that crap. Been there and done that, now I just write them checks and go on with my business.

I've always wondered this. Say I have a very good income now. Wife turns into a mega bitch and divorces me. Takes me to court to squeeze as much out of me as she can and gets it. What happens if I quit my job? What happens if I decide I want a life change and am tired of the 150k+ job and am willing to live in a trailer making 20k? Do we readjust, or am I a slave to our previous "standard of living"?

When determining what the monthly payments will be, do they only consider what I make, or will my spouse's income also be added?
No, short answer. Look up Louisiana child support. Its a set amount determined by both you're ex's income and yours.
Now answer the real good question here...You're inquiring about child support now and asking if they consider your wife's income. Child support usually comes in to play right after a separation/custody agreement comes into play. Your timeline of events doesn't add up. Explain....

I'm just curious if the courts take both of our incomes into the formula or is it just mine? I'd like to know before I tell her to GFH.
A little research leads to this...

They have a chart,it takes both into consideration. That's how it was in Alabama.
Most states do not have that. That is only in states with civil code. Louisiana does follow mostly civil code though. States that follow common law do not have these tables...
Louisiana's table and guidelines are here...

Mine stopped financially supporting me at 18. They warned me ahead of time by basically laying out three options:
1. Work hard and get a scholarship to go to college
2. Join the military
3. Get a full time job or do whatever but you're moving out and supporting yourself.
I don't see a problem with this and wish more parents thought this way

Just because I bust my arse for a better life doesn't mean I should Be punished to support the mother of the child. If that was the case then the parent that has the means of full support, the mental capacity, the stability to do so should be awarded full custody while the other parent has every other weekend.
I don't quite agree with this... I bust my arse for the life I have, but she's not as intelligent as I am and is in no way capable of accomplishing what I have. Not saying she's dumb, but she's not a match to my level.
You're discussion sounds like you had a bitter end. My ex and I are on good terms and get along fine. I know the money goes for good things. Get your priorities in check baw, put your child first, suck up your pride, and get over your beef with her. That shite didn't work out, get over it.

It's all based on what you make. It's a percentage and it's high.

If you get fired or laid off, you can petition the court for a re-evaluation. And you will have to provide proof that the loss of job/income was not of your choosing.
If you quit your job the court will not even listen to a request for re-eval.
If you get promoted or change careers which include a higher income for you... be nice to your ex, because she can haul you back in for a re-eval.
ETA: my experience within the LA Family Court system.
