i live in wisconsin, so i am not sure if the laws are the same, but i will share with you how i set an amount for child support. I went to my county child support office and filed. what happened was paternity was established, we had blood test but all you need to do is consent that you are the father. after that you can have child support established at a set rate normally they base it on 17% for your current income, or whatever you and your childs mother can agree on. other things can be added in to the court order such as visitation, medical costs etc. just a suggestion from a mom who supports her child on her own. one of the ways you can go about it, TWO parents should support! i commend you for taking an active role in your childs life, good luck!
