Child support in Madison: how it is calculated
Child support in Madison is set by Mississippi's statewide guidelines — Madison County courts apply the same table as every other county. Here is the calculation, with the statute it comes from.
Where a Madison case goes
A Madison case is filed in the Mississippi court for Madison County, which applies the state guideline below. Local practice affects timing and paperwork, not the guideline amount. Madison has about 28,210 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Madison have its own rule?
No. Miss. Code § 43-19-101 applies across Mississippi, so a case from Madison is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
Miss. Code § 43-19-101 — Mississippi child support guidelines. Mississippi's percentages apply to adjusted gross income (gross minus taxes, Social Security, and mandatory retirement). The guideline is presumptively correct for adjusted gross incomes between $10,000 and $100,000 a year; outside that range the court makes written findings.
