Whether you are seeking child support payments or are being required to pay, our attorneys can help you achieve a solution that is you and your child’s best interests.

Calculating Child Support in California

Child support payments in California are regulated by state guidelines. The amount of child support to be paid is determined by several important factors.

The court will consider:

• Each parent’s income (two months' current income and a 12-month average)
• The ability of each parent to earn (if not working)
• Mandatory payroll deductions, such as retirement, health insurance, or union dues
• The percentage of time each parent spends with the child(ren)
• The support paid for other children
• The cost of health insurance, travel for visitation, or childcare expenses
• Tax filing status (married jointly, married separate or head of household, single), deductions (401k contributions, property taxes, property insurance) and exemptions (number of children, new spouse, etc.)
• Hardships

It is important to have your most recently filed tax return and two months' of paystubs available. If you are self-employed. you will need a Profit and Loss, or Schedule C.

Our divorce lawyers are skilled in researching and presenting all the required information for your child support case. Helping you reach a fair agreement is our highest priority.
