In New York, much like the rest of the country, the amount of child support to be paid is set by state statutory guidelines. These guidelines outline a formula that is to be used when calculating child support. Details such as the number of children and the income of each parent go into the formula. Courts may also take other factors into consideration, such as day care and health care costs.
