In this article you will learn how child support works by state and you will be able to access each state in particular.
The Office of Child Support Enforcement, a division of the Administration for Children and Families under the Department of Health and Human Services, is now in charge of the federal child support enforcement program. While each state is free to choose its own method of calculating support, federal rules issued under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act mandate that child support standards be applied consistently across each state.

Differences Established by Child Support Law
45 CFR 302.56 mandates that each state create and make public a presumptively accurate (but that can be rebuttable) guide, and that the guideline be reviewed at least every four years.
In order to determine the “standard computation” of child support in each state, local courts and state Child Support Enforcement Offices have each developed their own “Child Support Guidelines Worksheet.” In any given situation, courts may decide to diverge from this normative estimate.
Unite States is a signatory to the 2007 Hague Maintenance Convention and has reciprocal arrangements in place with a some number of nations on the recovery of child support.

Ways to establish
Three fundamental models, or formulae, are used by states to determine a child support obligation: one of three models: the Melson Formula, the Income Shares model, or the Percentage of Income model.
According to the Income Shares Model, minor children should get the same level of parental assistance as if their parents shared a home. The estimated percentage of each parent’s income that would have gone toward the kid in a shared home is used in this approach to determine support. State-specific calculations effectively sum the combined income of both parents. The amount required to maintain each kid is then calculated using fundamental factors, modified for the particular circumstance, and varies by state. Finally, the amount of support due is divided between the parents proportionally based on their respective income contributions. For example, the noncustodial parent is responsible for 60% of the support obligation if the custodial parent earns $4,000 per month while the noncustodial parent earns $6,000 per month.
The Percentage of Income
Support is calculated using the Proportion of Income model as a percentage of the noncustodial parent’s income. This approach presupposes that the kid receives the whole financial support of the custodial parent. As in the previous model, the support amount is changed. (Note: Massachusetts and the District of Columbia employ a hybrid formula that combines the Income Shares and Percentage of Income models.)
The Melson Formula
The Income Shares concept is simplified by the Melson Formula. A Standard of Living Adjustment (SOLA), which automatically allows the kid to partake in a parent’s or parents’ increasing income, is one of its unique characteristics. This six-step approach takes into account the SOLA, the major support requirements of the children, child care costs, and unusual medical costs. The courts next consider each parent’s basic self-support requirements and their share of the combined net income to establish the amount of support due. These sums are put together. The formula has the name of the Delaware Family Court judge who created it in the 1970s and 1980s, Elwood F. Melson, Jr.
