Statutory Child Support Percentages in New York

In New York, child support is computed by totaling the adjusted gross income of both parents and then taking a percentage of that sum depending on the number of children requiring support. Percentages are of the total adjusted gross income of both parents.
  • One child: 17%
  • Two children: 25%
  • Three children: 29%
  • Four children: 31%
  • Five or more children: No less than 35% of the total parental income
A parent's obligation is his/her pro rata share of the total child support based upon his/her percentage which makes up the total combined adjusted gross income.

There is a statutory cap of combined income upon which the percentage will apply. For families whose income is above the cap, the financial needs circumstances of the parties will dictate how much, if not all, of the income above the statutory cap to apply.

" Each step of the way through the divorce proceedings, Carl Wand provided the outstanding legal expertise necessary to receive what I was entitled to after thirty plus years of marriage. Carl and his partner, Jennifer, were also sensitive to the emotional strains that divorce litigation creates and always made time for me with phone calls, emails, and meetings. Their paralegals and office staff were equally supportive and helpful during the challenges of the proceedings."

- Jeanne M
