Child Support Frequently Asked Questions
Determining Child Support
Child support in California is calculated by applying the Statewide Uniform Guideline Formula. This formula is calculated with computer software developed for this purpose.
The goal of establishing child support is to decide on a fair and equitable dollar amount. Many factors are considered in determining the amount of child support to be paid, including the following:
- Each parent's income
- Amount of time each parent spends with child
- Age of child
- Financial needs of child
- Tax deductions
- Payment of health insurance premiums
At the Law Offices of Randy W. Medina, APLC, we ensure that the proper amounts are used in calculating child support. The final number is only as good as the data used to get to that amount. We can help ensure that in the event the court is required to determine child support, accurate information is provided, to assure a fair and just result.
Child custody and visitation are linked to the child support calculation in the form of timeshare. Essentially, the more time you spend with your child, the less money you pay in support. Conversely, the more time the child is with the custodial parent, the more child support he or she will receive.
