NEW YORK Part 61

As an example, let’s say you have the majority of physical custody of your one child and you make $20,000, while the other parent makes $30,000. After adding your incomes ($50,000), the court multiples that total by a percentage per child, or “child support percentage.” These percentages are:

    17% of the combined parental income for one child,

    25% of the combined parental income for two children,

    29% of the combined parental income for three children,

    31% of the combined parental income for four children, and

    no less than 35% of the combined parental income for five or more children.
