Calculating child support: Here is a pretty easy to use child support calculator: please use it and come up with each parent’s child support: mother’s net income is $100,000.; father’s net income is $75,000.

Mother and father have a 50/50 parenting plan: mother has 183 days, father has 182 days

Child care is $750 per month, split equally

Child insurance is $350 per month, split equally

Read the information in the article below, and then use the calculator to determine the monthly child support obligation of each parent. https://www.family-options.com/child-support-calculator
