Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in Virginia
A higher income does not mean every scenario below computes cleanly. One specific Virginia schedule row is genuinely unverified, and this page shows exactly where that hits.

Guideline child support scenarios at $2000 a week
The paying parent earns $2000 a week ($8,666.67 a month) in every cell below. The other parent's monthly income changes across rows, and the number of children changes across columns; both genuinely change the result.Every figure is computed with the real Virginia guideline engine, the same one behind the full calculator, not a lookup table built for this page.
| Other parent's income | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children |
|---|---|---|---|
| No reported income | $1,171.00 | $1,720.67 | $2,187.67 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,062.21 | $1,545.65 | $1,956.77 |
| $4,000 a month | Not available: Combined monthly gross income between $12000 and $16000 depends on a schedule row that could not be verified against the official statute text (official confirmation required); this band is disabled until the row is confirmed | Not available: Combined monthly gross income between $12000 and $16000 depends on a schedule row that could not be verified against the official statute text (official confirmation required); this band is disabled until the row is confirmed | Not available: Combined monthly gross income between $12000 and $16000 depends on a schedule row that could not be verified against the official statute text (official confirmation required); this band is disabled until the row is confirmed |

Every dollar figure is a monthly amount, the presumptive guideline result before add-ons like child care or health insurance and before any court deviation. "Not available" means the engine behind this site declined to compute that specific combination rather than guess; the reason is shown next to it.
A gap near $14,000 in combined income
Most of the Virginia schedule used on this site comes from cross-verified official rows. One row does not: the combined income point near $14,000 a month returned three different sets of dollar amounts across three separate attempts to read the official statute text. Rather than pick one of three conflicting versions, this tool refuses to compute any combination that would need to interpolate across that row.
At $2,000 a week, gross pay is about $8,667 a month. Combine that with an other-parent income of $4,000 or $6,000 a month and the total lands close enough to $14,000 to fall inside that unverified band, which is why two of the four rows in the table below show a refusal instead of a number.
Reading a table with a real, documented gap in it
The two lower other-parent income rows, no reported income and $2,000 a month, keep combined totals below the unverified band and compute normally. The two higher rows land inside or need to cross it, and the table shows that honestly rather than picking a number nobody can check. None of these combinations come close to the $42,500 schedule ceiling, so the ceiling itself plays no part in this page.
What this estimate includes
- The verified portion of the § 20-108.2(B) combined-income schedule
- A clear refusal, with reason, for the unverified $14,000 row
- Guideline amounts for 1, 2, or 3 children where the schedule is verified
What it leaves out
- A guess at the unverified row, which this tool will not fabricate
- The above-ceiling percentage add-on rule, not reached at this income
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
A documented gap like this one is a feature of transparent sourcing, not a flaw to hide. Every other engine on this site that hits an untranscribed or unverifiable row behaves the same way: it refuses with a specific, honest reason rather than interpolating a plausible-looking number.
The gap sits in a narrow band near $14,000 combined income. A parent whose real combined household income lands well clear of that point, above or below it, will get a computed figure from the same schedule this page uses for its working rows.
Frequently asked questions
Why do two rows in the table show a refusal instead of a number?
Combined income in those two rows falls near $14,000 a month, a point on the Virginia schedule where three separate attempts to read the official published row returned three different sets of dollar figures. This tool will not guess which version is correct, so it refuses those specific combinations rather than showing an unverified number.
Is $2,000 a week close to the Virginia schedule ceiling?
No. Even added to the highest other-parent scenario on this page, combined income stays well under half of the $42,500 monthly ceiling SB 805 set in 2025. The percentage add-on rule that applies above that ceiling has no effect at this income level.
Will the unverified row eventually get fixed?
When a verifiable version of that specific row becomes available, this page updates with a dated changelog entry and the refusal is replaced with a real number. Until then, showing a guess would break the site rule that every figure has to trace to a source someone can actually check.
Do the two working rows still show real numbers?
Yes. The "no reported income" and "$2,000 a month" rows both stay below the unverified band, so they compute a real, engine-generated figure the same way every other page in this series does.
What is the SB 805 schedule ceiling for?
Above $42,500 in combined monthly gross income, Virginia switches from the dollar-amount schedule to a percentage add-on on the excess, rather than looking up another schedule row. That rule sits far above the incomes shown on this page.
Does self-employment income change any of this?
The schedule itself does not distinguish how the gross income was earned. Virginia gross income inclusions and exclusions, and any business-expense deductions for self-employment, are a separate determination this page does not recompute; it takes the gross figures as given.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Virginia child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Virginia child support calculator. Nothing on this page is a separate estimate or a reimplementation of the math. See the sources below for the statutes and official worksheets behind the Virginia guideline.
