They deduct your expenses (including child support you *pay*) and total your income (including child support you *receive*) and figure it from there.
I am familiar with the process. If his prior obligation is an expense, why isn't the mothers? Granted, she may receive support for the other child, but she also has HER share to pay for that child as well.
