Under the laws of all states in this country the court reviews the current monthly expense and income declaration to arrive at the net monthly income of each parent and then applies the local county guidelines in place where the action is venued to arrive at the monthly amount of child support accessed to a particular person. The above is how child support is to be calculated.
