Judge SLASHES Child Support From $2,500 to $784 — Family Court SHOCK! A tense family court child support hearing takes a major turn when the judge reviews both parents’ financial situations, current employment, unpaid support, and the hours being worked. The case begins with $2,500 per month in child support. The father explains that he recently returned to work at $22.50 per hour, but says he is only receiving part-time hours. The mother argues that a major reduction would make it difficult to support their three children. The turning point comes when the court calculates support using the father’s current hours plus minimum-wage income for additional hours. The resulting guideline child support amount is $784 per month, with separate medical and dental support figures.
