CHILD SUPPORT BASED ON GROSS INCOME CSA advises parties that this is what the children would be entitled to if the two parents were still together. But they would only be entitled to a net amount if the two parents were still together.
The minimum amount of support is $50 per month. The maximum is 45% of a parent's net income, unless there is some good reason such as substantial wealth for that percentage to increase.
Using Washington's Child Support Guidelines To calculate child support, use the combined net income of both parents (in other words, add your net income to the other parent's net income) to determine the total amount of child support due.

In determining a parent's income for child support purposes, courts typically look at the parent's gross income from all sources. They then subtract certain obligatory deductions, like income taxes, Social Security, health care, and mandatory union dues.
In Washington State, child support is paid until the child either turns 18 or graduates High School,whichever occurs later. The support obligation can extend beyond this. Most commonly to cover post-secondary education. However, this is neither automatic nor guaranteed.
The biggest factor in calculating child support is how much the parents earn. Some states consider both parents' income, but others consider only the income of the noncustodial parent. In most states, the percentage of time that each parent spends with the children is another important factor.
