How much money your child gets depends on how much you earn. If you are in the UK, there are four set thresholds for child support amounts depending on how much you earn per month. Other factors which can alter this are the ages and school fees of the child or children, and whether they have any special needs, in which case they will more than likely get more money from you.
If you are in the US, the amount is calculated into a flat percentage by the court, taking into account how much you earn and whether the child or children have any extra needs. It may also take into account the mothers financial situation. If she is earning a lot then you may not be required to pay as much, but is she is not earning much or is on benefits and you are earning a fair wage, then again you may be required to pay more.
Because the amount to be given is a flat percentage based on your income, it will vary greatly from person to person and so without further detail from you I cannot give you an exact percentage for your specific contribution. What you can do if you wish to find out is contact your local authority, whose number should be easily findable in either your local yellow pages or on the internet. They should be able to give you a better idea of the boundaries and thresholds for the different percentages of child benefit given. Another option is to contact your partner, because they will be able to tell you how much it is that they get from you per month for the child or children.
Child support is a vital service for mothers who do not earn much.
