child support

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?,new york,

This makes no sense bcz i the lawyer gave me a paper saying that being i make 34000 a year, one child should get around 5700 yearly. if i have 4 children then i am entitles to pay 10700 each year. so wouldnt that 10700 be divided between the 4 chiildren??

If i have 4 children in all, 1 from my first wife and the other 3 from my second wife. say i go through child support, will the money be divided equally among the 4 children?

Not likely.

The way that it usually works is that the first support ordered remains the same, and the second order made is calculated based on your total income minus the amount of child support paid in the first order.

this make no sense because the lawyer gave me a paper stating if i make 34000 a year i pay around 5700 annually for 1 child. If i have 4 children in all, i am entitled to pay around 10,700. shouldnt the 10700 be divided among the 4 children?

It is divided amongst the four children. It just does not have to be divided equally on a per-child basis.

New York State Child Support Standards Act.

Just because a Lawyer gave you papers means nothing unless the are copies of a Court Order .

Only a Court can order you to pay .
