Child Support

Southern California Divorce and Child Support Lawyers

Knowing that a divorce will change your life dramatically, it helps to understand what your financial situation is likely to be once the marriage is over. In many divorces, paying or receiving child support is also an extremely important component.

Whether you need to forecast what you will pay or what you should receive, we can help. Contact our attorneys for representation in your divorce, including negotiation of any child support issues.

Noncustodial Parents Pay Guideline Child Support

There are established guidelines for child support in California. The amount of child support ordered is based primarily on:

• The income of each party; and
• The percentage of time each parent cares for the children under the applicable child custody and visitation arrangement

A range of other factors can enter into the child support order, such as which parent pays for insurance, who receives tax deductions and many others.
