Child Support in California
California law requires both parents to financially support their children. The state uses a guideline formula to calculate child support based on each parent's income and time spent with the child. An experienced attorney can help ensure the calculations accurately reflect your financial situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is child support calculated in California?
California uses a statewide guideline formula that considers each parent's income, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, tax filing status, and certain allowable deductions. The court may deviate from the guideline amount in special circumstances.
Can child support be modified?
Yes, either parent can request a modification if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, employment status, custody arrangement, or the child's needs.
What happens if a parent doesn't pay child support?
California has multiple enforcement mechanisms including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, property liens, driver's license suspension, and in serious cases, contempt of court proceedings.
How long does child support last?
Child support in California generally continues until the child turns 18, or 19 if the child is still a full-time high school student living with a parent. The court may also terminate support if the child marries, enters the military, or becomes emancipated.
