What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Hey all, my wife and I separated about 2 years ago, it is not a legal separation. Our divorce is still pending our joint BK being finalized. Both are set to be finalized middle of November 2014. My ex and my daughter 4 live with her parents. I give her $400 / week, and pay for her car insurance, cell phone, and car expenses, (= out to a little more than $1,000/ month) and help out with extras when they need it and I can.

My little one is supposed to be starting school soon so I'm going to have to come up with some more money, I'm wondering what is a likely amount a judge would order me to pay? I will probably go above that but I just want a baseline.

I make about $60K / year. My ex is a student, and does not work. My ex has custody of my daughter 90% of the time, ( I work two full time jobs so it's not feasible for her to spend the night with me)

I appreciate any help I can get.
