In Connecticut, like with most states, a non-custodial parent's child support obligation is calculated as a percentage of their total income compared to the needs of the child. Generally, this is 23% of your net weekly income for 1 child, 32% of your pay for 2 children, and 39% of your pay for 3 children.

Even if both parents agree, child support cannot be waived. Regardless of the wishes of either parent, Connecticut will calculate and order child support payments until a child reaches the age of 19, graduates high school, or becomes emancipated, whichever occurs first.

Usually, the duty to support created by a child support order ends when the child is 18 years old. However, this may vary from state to state. For example, in Connecticut, the duty to support may go to age 19 if the child is still in high school.
