More details to this question:
I am the non-custodial parent and recently received a child support court summons. The paperwork asked for the amount of money in my savings account. I have a full time job and was wondering if the money in my savings account would factor into the child support amount determined by the courts

The savings of the non-custodial parent definitely factors into a child support determination. If paying child support would bring your savings below the minimum self-support reserve of $16,281, the court might allow you to pay little or no child support, depending on various other factors.
