Question: I am 17 and am a father to a 2 month old little girl. I want to be responsible for my daughter so when I graduate I will get a job. How much of my paycheck should I give my daughter for childsupport? I want it to be the right amount she is entitled to and nothing less.

Answer:

The amount someone pays for child support is determined by a Court, and is different depending on your specific circumstances.  However, the Arizona Court System has an Arizona Child support calculator website that you can use for an estimate of what your child support payments will be.

It's commendable that you are so young and wish to do right by your kid. How much you contribtue will epend on the job/pay you get when you are done with school and how much financial help the mom will need.
