How Do Courts Calculate Child Support in CA?

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)
• Mandatory payroll deductions, such as retirement, health insurance, or union dues
• The amount of time the child or children spend with each parent
• The support paid for other children
• The cost of health insurance, travel for visitation, or childcare expenses
• Other tax deductions, such as mortgage interest and real property taxes

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.
