There is a field where it ask to enter the number of "dependent children"

What should I put there? My scenario is the following:

I live with my now wife who is the person re question applying for AOS.

I have 3 years old daughter who lives with her mom and I pay for child support and I also claim her on my income tax, do I need to count her as part of my "household size" as she doesn't live with me?

Household size means taxpayer + declared dependent/s (if any) + the beneficiary (who you are filing for in I-864).

In your case, it's Household size = you + daughter + wife (the AOS applicant) = 3.

So to answer your question, yes, your daughter has to be included.

Yes. You count her.

All minor children are included no matter where they live.

This.

You include all minor children no matter where they live and who pays for what. Even if you did not pay child support you would still have to include the child.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  - Dr. Seuss

No need to go to a third party site even. It is in the I-864 form instructions > http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

How to count household size >

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ
