The percentage paid may stay the same, or vary if the non-custodial parent's income changes. Example: The non-custodial parent of one child has an income of $2,000 per month. The court orders a flat percentage of 25% of the non-custodial parent's income to be paid in child support to the custodial parent.

The Guidelines are based on an Income Shares model that establishes the dollar amount of child support obligations based on the amount of parents' combined adjusted gross income and the number of children for whom the child support order is being established or modified.

The first step is for the parent to submit a petition to modify to the court. The petition will contain the parent's proposed modifications. If both parties agree to the modification, they can submit a modification agreement outlining a new parenting plan for the court to ratify and approve.

If both parents share custody does anyone pay child support? Yes, in Tennessee child support is based off the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines. If parents share 50-50/equal parenting time, child support is based upon each parent having one hundred eighty-two and one-half (182.5) days of parenting time.

If parents are unmarried at the time of their child's birth, the mother is presumed to have custody. Legal parents have the right to have a relationship with their child and to visit their child. Once a father acknowledges paternity, he gains these rights.

Is there a limit to the amount of money that can be taken from my paycheck for child support? 50 percent of disposable income if an obligated parent has a second family. 60 percent if there is no second family.
