In Illinois, for example, it's 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Income is almost anything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.
At the maximum, 55% of gross. see links below

Of the reported amount of child support owed by the national media, only 17% is the actual amount owed.

Your check is being garnished you have child support coming out of your check does the 25 percent garnishment include your child support or is the 25 percent taken out after the child support?
Assuming your question is "Do they take child support out before they tax my wages?", the answer is : No. They take it out after your taxes are deducted. They figure support based on your gross earnings, but factor in your taxes. However, you are not getting a tax break, like you do on your insurance premiums.

Child support is worked out by your annual income so you should not be paying more than you can afford.

Not directly. However, if you combine your money in any way, the state can take it for back child support. For example, if you get a joint bank account, or even add his name to your bank account, the state can take money from that account. If you file a joint tax return and get a refund, the state can take money from that refund. The custodial parent may also be able to have the child support amount increased based on your new "household" income, which includes any wages you earn.
