Child Support

In California, child support is awarded to ensure that parents are contributing to the financial support of their children. Our child support attorneys know that there are many qualifications and requirements to child support, as well as some exceptions. For example, as long as the child is enrolled full time as a student, child support is payable until the child reaches 18. One exception to this rule is that a parent may be obligated to continue to support and an adult disabled child who is not self supporting. No matter what your situation, our attorneys are ready to listen and help you with your case.

Child Support Factors & Guidelines

In California, there is a guideline to determine if and how much child support must be paid by a one parent to another. Important factors to consider are:

• Amount of money each parent earns
• Amount of money each parent is capable or earning
• Amount of time spent with the child
• Any hardships that justify deviating from a child support order
