Ohio child support. I make roughly 64k a year and my child's mother is a waitress and only works about 2-3 days a week.?
I've been told I may end up paying as much as 800.00 a month for one child! Does that sound about right and if so... Is there a maximum amount of child support that can be taken?

Actually, how much she works DOES matter, but the Court may determine that she is underemployed, and credit her with what she would make if she worked full-time, even though she doesn't. Child support is determined on earning POTENTIAL as well as actual earnings. They also take into consideration things like insurance fees, required retirement payments, other children being supported, other child support orders being paid, child care costs, etc. So - lots of factors.
You can check with Ohio Child Support Enforcement for your country for additional information. This is the Ohio CSE main page, with lots of information, including links for FAQ, phone numbers, etc.

You're getting off easy. Even if you had to pay 25%, it would only be 1333 a month. You should be forking over another 25%, since you whipped it out and played with it.
They take out between 20 and 30%.

If she won't let you see him - which is your right, you need to go to court and let them know, and do it every time she doesn't allow you to see him.

How much she works doesn't matter. Max is usually 50% of gross in most states.
You make about $5300 a month. $800 would be getting off easy, it's only 15%. I'd say you're looking at more than that.
