Guideline child support scenarios at $1000 a week
The paying parent earns $1000 a week ($4,333.33 a month) in every cell below. The other parent's monthly income changes across rows, and the number of children changes across columns; both genuinely change the result.Every figure is computed with the real West Virginia guideline engine, the same one behind the full calculator, not a lookup table built for this page.
| Other parent's income | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children |
|---|---|---|---|
| No reported income | $701.00 | $1,049.00 | $1,260.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $608.95 | $916.84 | $1,096.10 |
| $4,000 a month | $524.16 | $783.12 | $928.72 |
| $6,000 a month | $483.10 | $713.32 | $835.77 |
Every dollar figure is a monthly amount, the presumptive guideline result before add-ons like child care or health insurance and before any court deviation. "Not available" means the engine behind this site declined to compute that specific combination rather than guess; the reason is shown next to it.
A tall schedule, then an income share
West Virginia statutory schedule under § 48-13-301 runs to 690 rows, giving the combined obligation for the parents adjusted gross incomes and the child count. The obligation is then divided by each parent share of that combined income, so the payer portion depends on how much of the total the payer earns.
At $1,000 a week, $4,333.33 a month, the payer portion for one child falls from $701 to $483.10 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, and the two and three-child columns move more. The basic-arrangement baseline keeps the extended offset out.
Reading the schedule and the share together
Every cell below is the same two-step result: the 690-row schedule gives the combined obligation, and the income share assigns the payer portion. As the other parent income rises, the combined obligation grows while the payer share shrinks, and the table shows the net effect.
The basic-arrangement baseline is constant, so the movement you see is the schedule and the share responding to income alone.
What this estimate includes
- The 690-row schedule lookup for the combined income
- The adjusted gross income share division
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The 160% time-weighted extended-shared offset
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Court-ordered deviations from the schedule amount
Worth knowing
The tall 690-row schedule is the reason West Virginia rarely refuses for income, and at this income every combination sits inside it.
The income share division is the part of the calculation that moves with the other parent income, which is the column-to-column story on this page.
Frequently asked questions
What sets the base obligation in West Virginia?
The 690-row statutory schedule under § 48-13-301, which reads the parents combined adjusted gross incomes and the number of children to produce the base obligation.
Does the other parent income change the result at $1,000 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $701 to $483.10 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
How does the income share division work?
Each parent pays a share of the combined obligation equal to their share of the combined adjusted gross income, so the payer portion falls as the other parent income rises.
Is the basic-arrangement baseline still fixed?
Yes. The extended-shared offset is not applied, so the schedule and the share are the only steps in play.
Is every cell computed at this income?
Yes. The combined incomes on this page fall within the 690-row schedule, so each cell is a normal lookup with no refusal.
Where can I see the full schedule?
The W. Va. Code schedule linked in the sources publishes the rows, and the full West Virginia child support calculator applies the share division.
