Most courts generally look at each parents' gross income, minus any mandatory deductions like taxes, social security, healthcare, mandatory union dues, and other child support payments they may already be responsible for.

Some courts may take into consideration a spouse's ability to earn versus actual earnings. Thus, if you have an income of $30,000 but have the earning potential to make $100,000, a court may hold you responsible for the higher amount.

The courts may also deem relevant the standard of living of the child before divorce or separation.
