The answer to your question as to the percentage of child support that you are obligated to pay with respect to your worker's compensation settlement or the lifetime monthly breakdown depends upon what the presumed written court order for child support as to you states. As such, you need to carefully read the court order and from there you will have your answer.
If you need assistance on the subject, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney on the subject.
