intelligent situations to consider before pushing for those kids. from http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/14/how-much-child-support-will-jon-gosselin-have-to-pay.aspx take the case of not the contented couple with in vitro babies of twins then then wanted more kids the unnatural way again then got 6. 8 in all then got divorded: jon and kate the poster children of no contentment now the poster children of how to make ends meet in public eye... 1. If you're asking whether a parent can get a discount of eight for the price of six, the answer is, technically, yeah. 2. If the two "stars" of Jon & Kate Plus 8 decide that the best way to go is a divorce, then child support for eight kids growing up on basic cable gets really interesting. For the sake of explanation, let's just suppose that Kate gets custody of all the kids. In most states, the law puts a cap on the percentage of Jon's wages—around 40 to 50 percent—that he must pay in child support. The percentage for the first kid is usually 20 percent, and then it goes down from there with each subsequent spawn. "It's a sliding scale, the more children you have," family law attorney Jennifer C. Smetters explains. In the case of Jon and Kate, the percentage would probably cap off before we got down to kid number six. "There's only so much support that someone can give," divorce attorney Joshua Forman tells me. "The law has to give him the incentive to work. Otherwise he might think, 'You're taking 90 percent of my salary? Forget this.' " However, things might change if Jon, say, got a seven-figure deal to pen a tell-all book. In that case, his income would be so high that a good family lawyer would argue that—at least temporarily—he pay a lower percentage of his income in support.
