California Child Support Guidelines
Family court sets child support amounts by considering what is in the best interest of the child. Child support in California is determined by statutory guidelines that take into account a number of factors, including:
- Each parent's income
- The number of children
- The amount of time spent with each parent
- Health insurance and child care expenses
Unlike spousal support, child support payments are not tax deductible for the payer. In some circumstances, a spouse or partner may be awarded family support, which is a combination of child and spousal support.
We can also assist you with modifications of child support agreements as well as enforcement of court-ordered payments. Make certain that your children's future is secure.
