Child Support Liability in California


Child custody and child support are the two disputes that can arise from the number of situations like dissolving of marriages, formation of new partnership or new marriage. It can also occur if one parent is moving away, changes job or facing any legal issues. Whatever the reason is, if you are looking to reach the resolution regarding child custody or child support, the first step should be to contact an  expert and professional child support lawyer California.

California child support law defines child support as the ongoing monetary expenditures and payments necessary for the living of the child and medical expenses. Both parents have a legal duty to provide financial support for the children.

How much am I required to pay for child support? We wish if this question could be answered with one simple response but NOT SO in California. The child support guidelines are determined by number of vital factors like income of both parents, time share or parenting plans with the child (minor child), tax dependency exemptions etc.

There is a misconception among some people about child support that it only cover child's bare necessities like food and clothing. But in legal terms, child support is meant to cover the broad range of expenses like school/ fees and expenses, travel and transportation, medical, entertainment and extracurricular activities.

Under California child support law, the noncustodial parent pays the support amount to the custodial parent but under some circumstances, both parties pays child support amount to the third-party who is taking care of their child.
