San Bernardino, CA Child Support Lawyer
How is Child Support Calculated in California?
When two parents separate, divorce, or otherwise stop living together, they must address the issues of child custody and support. Child support is the monthly sum paid to a custodial parent by a non-custodial parent or a higher-earning parent with joint custody.
Although both parents have an obligation to shoulder at least some of their children’s expenses and care, child support is designed to provide the child with the level of care he or she would receive if both parents were living and contributing together.
Child support may be established either by an agreement decided by the parents or by judicial decree.
In the event that a judge determines the child support award, he or she will consider the following factors:
- The income and earning capacity of each parent
- The number of children the parents share
- The amount of time each parent is able to allocate to each child
- The cost of the children’s health insurance
- The status of each parent’s tax filings
- Each parent’s expenses for mortgage interest, property tax, etc.
- The amount of spousal support paid by the higher-earning spouse
- Any other child support payments received or paid by each parent
- Additional child care expenses, including daycare tuition, visitation travel costs, school books, tuition and materials, uninsured health expenses, and any special needs
