Child Support Principles under California Law
Under California law, certain principles will be used by the courts in determining and / or adjusting child support payments. These include the duty of both parents to support children, the actual income and level of responsibility taken by each parent, their ability to pay, payments which reflect the standard of living of the parents, payments which reflect the increased costs of raising children in two separate homes, and more. Child support payments are generally calculated according to a formula guideline based on net monthly disposable income of both parties.
You may have a child support dispute which needs to be resolved between you and your spouse or through the courts. You may have need of a modification of a current child support payment arrangement due to a significant change in your circumstances, such as job loss, illness, or other situation.
