    Default Is Child Support Calculated Based on Prior or Current Income

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CT

    Good day all, currently going through a custody battle. I have my kids full time, and it is time to establish child support.

    Never married, and have been apart for 2 years.

    The question I have is, is support calculated based upon income while we were together, or current income?

    My job is different now then it was then, hence the question. Thanks!

    Generally current and it can increase or be reduced in the future depending on income.

    The CT Judicial Branch website has a ton of information about child support.

    https://www.jud.ct.gov/lawlib/law/childsupport.htm

    There may be a calculator in there. If not, google Connecticut child support calculator and one will turn up.

    Thanks, guys.

    That leads me to question #2.
    My current job is base + commission.
    300 + commission.
    Some weeks I could bring home just base 300 (minus taxes), some i could bring home 600 (again minus taxes)
    Or anywhere in between.

    Its sales, so you never know what you're going to make, if anything. Could be 300 for weeks, or have a few good weeks.
    And it constantly changes.
    How would something like this be handled?

    I've looked at the calculators, but have no idea how to go about this.

    It would likely be based on your annual average.

    I've only been there 5 months. I have no annual average. Oh man, this is going to be difficult I think.

    You WILL end up with some sort of average.
