Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in West Virginia
At $2,000 a week the fact that shapes this page is the basic-arrangement baseline, because the extended offset waits at the 127-day line and never begins here.

Guideline child support scenarios at $2000 a week
The paying parent earns $2000 a week ($8,666.67 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 | $1,021.00 | $1,521.00 | $1,799.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $955.50 | $1,411.31 | $1,653.44 |
| $4,000 a month | $886.05 | $1,312.32 | $1,543.58 |
| $6,000 a month | $840.86 | $1,233.82 | $1,434.73 |
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.
The basic arrangement is still the story
West Virginia extended arrangement starts when each parent has more than 127 days, and it applies a 160 percent time-weighted offset. This page fixes the basic arrangement, so the offset never starts, and the 690-row statutory schedule does all the work, apportioning the obligation by adjusted gross income share.
At $2,000 a week the result is a fully computed grid: one child runs from $1,021 down to $840.86 as the other parent income rises, and the two and three-child columns move more. The schedule covers every combination without a refusal.
Reading the table with the 127-day line in mind
Every row below is the basic-path result, so the 160 percent time-weighted offset is not applied. The other parent income drives the movement across the rows, and the child count sets the level, with three children producing the largest figures.
A parent with more than 127 days each would leave the basic path and enter the extended arrangement, which is a materially different calculation.
What this estimate includes
- The 690-row schedule apportionment at the basic baseline
- The 127-day extended threshold stated for comparison
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The 160% time-weighted extended-shared offset
- An income cap, which is not the constraint at this income
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The 127-day line is the concrete boundary that separates this page from the extended arrangement, which is why it is named rather than an income ceiling.
At this income the schedule is fully computed, so the only reason a reader might need a different number is an arrangement change, not a higher income.
Frequently asked questions
What would change the West Virginia result at $2,000 a week?
The controlling variable is the arrangement. Once each parent has more than 127 days, the case enters the extended arrangement and the 160 percent time-weighted offset applies, which changes the obligation more than income shifts within the schedule.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $1,021 to $840.86 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Why does this page stay on the basic arrangement?
The basic arrangement is the common paying-parent case, and fixing it keeps the extended offset from beginning. This page discloses that baseline so the numbers are not mistaken for a shared-time estimate.
Is there any refusal at this income?
No. Every combination falls within the statutory schedule, so each cell computes a normal result.
How does the extended offset work?
It is a 160 percent time-weighted offset that applies when each parent has more than 127 days under the extended arrangement, recognizing the shared care.
Where can I run the extended arrangement?
The full West Virginia child support calculator on this site accepts the arrangement, and the W. Va. Code provisions linked in the sources describe the offset.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real West Virginia child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full West Virginia child support calculator. Nothing on this page is a separate estimate or a reimplementation of the math. See the sources below for the statutes and official worksheets behind the West Virginia guideline.
