Let a Child Support Attorney Orange County Protect your Child's Future

Whether you're getting divorced or are separating as parents, both you and your spouse have the legal obligation to support your children.

Child support in California is based on the non-custodial parents' income and lifestyle of the child before divorce. The custodial parent gets periodic support payments from the non-custodial parent to provide for the children's daily care and the cost of raising them until they attain majority.

When determining the income of each parent, the court will also consider property rentals, inheritance, and second homes as alternate sources of income.

If you're expecting child support from your spouse or are about to become a single parent, consult a child support attorney Orange County immediately. At Jos Family Law, we'll review your case and explain the current child support guidelines in California. Based on these, we'll explain the approximate support amount that you may need to pay.

Calculating Child Support in California

Child support in California primarily depends on the following factors:

· Number of Children

Number of children below 19 years of age or still in high school. Disabled children may require support longer than this limit.

· Parenting Timeshare

The time each parent gets to share with the children. This means which parent has primary custody of the child. The custodial parent generally receives child support from the non-custodial parent.

· Each Parents' Monthly Income

The monthly income of each parent including their wages, bonuses, investments, and employment benefits.
