Child support
is court ordered funds that must be paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent for the support of the child.  In California, child support law oversees each parent’s financial responsibility to his/her child.  Parents are responsible for their child’s day-to-day necessities, and may be required to pay child support if they do not have sole custody of their child.  Child support payments are made until the child turns 18 years of age.  These payments cover things such as the child’s food, shelter, clothing, education, and health.

If one parent has custody of his/her child, and he/she believes that he/she may be entitled to child support, the best thing he/she can do is to consult with a reputable family law attorney.  A matrimonial lawyer that has handled prior child support cases can evaluate the circumstances surrounding the person’s custody arrangement and help the person file for child support in the California courts. 


Child Support Determining Factors
California uses several determining factors before rewarding child support to a parent.  The factors the court will consider when calculating a child support award amount include:

  • each parent’s monthly gross income 
  • the current custody arrangement 
  • insurance premiums paid by the non-custodial and custodial parent  
  • monthly child support paid by the non-custodial parent for other children
