Guideline child support scenarios at $750 a week
The paying parent earns $750 a week ($3,250.00 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 | $535.00 | $814.00 | $985.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $499.57 | $754.00 | $903.81 |
| $4,000 a month | $420.93 | $628.03 | $743.24 |
| $6,000 a month | $371.38 | $551.27 | $648.95 |
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.
Basic arrangement, and the offset it avoids
West Virginia provides a basic arrangement and an extended arrangement under W. Va. Code § 48-13-301. The extended arrangement, when each parent has more than 127 days, applies a 160 percent time-weighted offset that changes the obligation to recognize the shared care.
This page family fixes the basic arrangement, the common paying-parent case, which avoids the extended-shared overnights requirement entirely. The table below is the basic-path result, and the offset is disclosed so a shared-time reader knows it exists.
Reading the basic-path result
Every cell below is the basic-arrangement result, so the extended-shared offset is not applied. The other parent income moves the number, and the child count raises it, with three children producing the largest figures.
A parent in an extended arrangement, with more than 127 days each, would run the 160 percent offset instead of the basic path shown here.
What this estimate includes
- The 690-row schedule result at the basic baseline
- A clear statement that the extended-shared offset is not applied
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The 160% time-weighted extended-shared offset
- The extended-arrangement overnights requirement
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The basic versus extended distinction is the key assumption on this page, because the two arrangements use materially different paths in West Virginia.
At the basic baseline the table reads as the clean statutory schedule result, which is the most direct answer for the common paying-parent case.
Frequently asked questions
What is the basic arrangement baseline?
It is the standard West Virginia path under § 48-13-301, which this page family fixes for every scenario. It avoids the extended-shared overnights requirement entirely.
What is the extended-shared offset?
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.
Does the other parent income change the result at $750 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $535 to $371.38 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
Why is the 127-day threshold worth naming?
It is the line that separates the basic path on this page from the extended arrangement and its offset. A reader can compare their own days against it.
Is every cell computed at this income?
Yes. The combined incomes on this page fall within the schedule, so each cell is a normal lookup with no refusal.
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.
