Step 1: Gross Income
- Mother earns $45,000 annually
- Father earns $60,000 annually
Step 2: Combined Adjusted Income
- $105,000 divided by 12 months = $8,750.00
Step 3: Basic Child Support Obligation as provided by the table
- $1,144.00
Step 4: Pro Rata Division
- $45,000 divided by $105,000 = 43% (Mother)
- $60,000 divided by $105,000 = 47% (Father)
Step 5: Presumptive amount of Child Support
- Mother: $1,134.00 times 60% = $680.40
- Father: $1,134.00 times 40% = $453.60
