Based on the Supreme People's Court guideline: with a fixed income, child support is generally 20–30% of monthly total income for one child; for two or more children the share may be raised, but generally not above 50%. The ranges shown for two or more children are this tool's working assumption. Courts also weigh the child's actual needs, both parents' means and local living standards.
An estimate only — not legal advice.
Where the paying parent has a fixed income, courts generally award 20–30% of their monthly total income for one child. For two or more children the percentage can be increased, but generally not above 50%. Without a fixed income, courts look at annual income or the average income in the parent's industry.
Generally until the child turns 18. It may end at 16 if the child is mainly supporting themself through their own work, and it can continue beyond 18 in limited cases, for example where an adult child cannot live independently.
Yes. A child (through the custodial parent) can ask for more when the original amount no longer covers reasonable needs — for example because of education or medical costs — and the paying parent can afford it. The divorce agreement or judgment does not prevent a later request.
Chinese courts can still order support based on foreign income, but proving that income and enforcing the order abroad are the real challenges. Planning evidence and enforcement routes before filing makes a big difference — talk to us early.
