How do you stop child support in Mississippi?
In Mississippi, child support is calculated based on a percentage of each parent’s income. The formula used to calculate child support is:Child support is 50% of the non-custodial parent’s income up to 150% of the federal poverty guidelines, and 27.5% of the custodial parent’s income over 150% of the federal poverty guidelines.In Mississippi, child support is also modified based on the child’s age and health care needs. The older a child gets, the more health care costs become part of their child support. The amount of child support also changes if there are other people in the child’s life who are raising them or paying for their health care. For instance, if there is someone else feeding or clothing the child, that person would be ordered to pay for part of their health care.
