how much should child support be in this case?

[fstep2]

say someone makes 55,000/year what is the standard they should be paying for child support if it really varies i am just looking for somewhat a ballpark figure

also if the parents have already been to court and an unfair settlement was made is it an option to take the case back to court and get what the child support should be

First: You MUST give a state name to get valid help.

Second: We really enjoy punctuation. I see that you do not.

Third: It's easy to google an online calculator for your state. Do so.

actually that is easy. They should be paying whatever the court order SAYS they should be paying.

unfair based on what?

In NJ, a case may be reviewed every 3 years. So that's when you may petition for a review.

You can always request a modification of child support.

Whether or not it will be granted is another story.

Are you the CP complaining that you're not getting enough? Or the NCP complaining you're paying too much?

if there was an agreement- as in settlement- as in the court didn't decide the issue for you- then I don't believe you can take it back

Till 3 years have passed. THEN she can petition for review.

basically one party went in without the lawyer and got screwed .. the person making 55k/year ended up paying $300/month, the child support calculators i looked at say it should be close to $1000/month

So. . . . petition for a modification.

And if you don't know the law. get an attorney.
