How Washington child support works: the table is IN the statute
Washington's basic support obligation lives in a statutory economic table — combined monthly net income from $2,200 to $50,000, per-child amounts for one through five children, presumptive up to and including $50,000 — and the WSCSS worksheets are MANDATORY in every support proceeding. Net income (after the statutory deductions), the parents' proportional shares, daycare and special expenses on top, and the statutory guardrails (the 45-percent limit, the self-support reserve, the $50-per-child minimum) complete the picture.
The honesty note
This platform computes the table exactly as the statute states it and verifies the stored text before every calculation — and the court's own completed worksheet controls; three-parent worksheets exist as official instruments this platform names but never imitates.

Do it with the tools
Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county practice defer to your superior court's clerk-maintained local rules (GR 7(d)) and the courthouse facilitator — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
