Understanding California Child Support Laws

California child support laws are based on the premise that both parents are equally responsible for contributing to the support of their children, and that they should enjoy the lifestyle that each can provide.

The parties may stipulate to the amount due and payable for child support; however, guideline deviations are only allowed under highly limited circumstances.

We offer legal counsel and representation in all child support proceedings, including the following:

• The initial judicial or stipulated determination of support
• Child support settlement negotiations
• Child support mediation
• Child support enforcement
• Modification of child support based on a change in circumstances
• Judicial determination of back child support/support arrears owed by the obligor parent
• Defense of the department of child support enforcement matters

Attorney Amy Neshanian is a family law attorney, and she has a thorough understanding of how child support is calculated.

Because California’s statutory child support guidelines are extremely difficult to interpret, it is critical that you retain an intelligent child support lawyer who possesses an exhaustive knowledge of each and every factor that is utilized when the court sets a support obligation.

Do You Have to Pay Child Support in California with 50% Custody?

Failure to do so may result in an amount that is either too high or too low, because a less experienced attorney may not necessarily understand the impact that these factors may have on a child support order.

The factors include:

• All monies earned by both parties
• Earned commissions
• Earnings derived from self-employment
• Incentive or productivity bonuses
• Income derived from investment properties
• Profits earned from business ventures
• Stock options received as employee compensation
• Unemployment, workers’ compensation, disability benefits

In addition to earnings, the following expenses must also be taken into account:

• Children from prior or later relationships
• Monies paid for the educational, emotional, and medical care for a disabled or special needs child
• Childcare/daycare expenses
• Healthcare premiums paid on behalf of the child
• The number of children to be supported
• Parental time share
• Prior spousal support obligations
• Tax deductions based on filing status and number of dependents
• Mortgage interest and deductible homeowner’s insurance

Due to the fact that Attorney Amy Neshanian possesses a comprehensive understanding of California’s child support guidelines, she can fight to ensure that her clients receive the most beneficial outcome possible.
