Calculating the Amount of Child Support Ordered
A common question we receive regarding child support is “how are the ordered amounts calculated?” The calculation used to determine the child support order varies from state to state. Each state has its own set of guidelines used for determining the amount of child support ordered. However, these guidelines are very similar across state lines. In the state of California, child support guidelines are set by law. A calculation of each parents income combined with the amount of time spent with each parent is used to determine the final amount ordered. The types of income included in these calculations vary from wages, bonuses, rental income to received benefits.
Child Support Faq’s
There are many situations in which a family may require child support services and court-ordered judgements for the financial contributions of a non-custodial parent. Over the years, our family law attorney have assisted many families while walking through this process. The procedures of child custody and child support can be complex. Families approaching the process for the first time have common questions about requesting and responding to child support orders.
Can I receive child support if I am not married to the father of my child and his name is not on the birth certificate?
I don’t think my child support order is contributing enough to support my children. What should I do?
Can a child support order prevent a non-custodial parent from visiting the child? Does the child support order allow the non-custodial parent to visit the child?
What should I do if the non-custodial parent refuses to pay the court-ordered child support?
