Child support amounts are determined according to three different worksheets depending upon the nature of the custodial arrangements and number of overnights per year.
Courts can require you to pay child support retroactively if support is not paid. In fact, you may be prosecuted or held in contempt for failure to pay support, including suspension of your driver's license, issuance of a jail sentence, interception of tax refunds, etc. As such, whether your seeking child support or required to pay it, hiring an attorney to advocate for you in court is extremely important.
