How the number of children changes the amount in Alaska

With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 4 children is $1,504 a month, about 1.8 times the $835 for one child. Support rises with each child, but by less than the first child's amount, because the guidelines reflect how households share costs among children.

Alaska multiplies the paying parent's adjusted annual income by 20% for one child, 27% for two, 33% for three and 3% more for each additional child. The other parent's income isn't used when one parent has the children most of the year. The yearly amount is paid in twelve equal monthly installments.
