Child support, or the amount of it that you must pay, is determined by your income, but that’s not just income from working. It could be income from assets in the bank, income from trusts, income from any source. The amount that you pay in child support is pro-rated together, based on the income of your spouse and your income, and the non-custodial parent pays support to the custodial parent.
