How the number of children changes the amount in Florida
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 2 children is $1,088 a month, about 1.53 times the $709 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.
Florida uses the income shares model: the schedule in the statute gives the support for the parents' combined monthly net income, and each parent is responsible for their share.
