At the office of Mr. Binoye Jos, we have highly experienced child support attorneys Orange County who are well-versed with child support guidelines and understand how the courts apply them. Before a divorce is finalized, various issues have to be taken into consideration. This includes child support, where the parents get the primary right to establish a payment plan that covers all living expenses of the child and maintains their standard of living.

In California, a child has the right to be supported by both parents. But which parent pays support and who receives it will be determined by the final arrangement. This generally involves the higher-paid spouse to support the child by paying the lower-paid spouse.

As a parent, you'd want your children to be emotionally and financially unaffected by a divorce. Child support is where their financial well-being is taken care of, securing their future.

How is Child Support Calculated in California?

California determines child support by a complex algebraic equation. This equation is deemed to be the right method for child support cases, barring a few special circumstances, as it takes into consideration California's high cost of living. This standard guideline also reduces the scope of disputes and litigation.

The equation takes into account two main considerations, which are as follows:

●    Difference in income between both parents; and

●    Disparity of timeshare between both parents.

Whether you're expecting to pay or receive child support, you must speak to a child support attorney in Orange County immediately. We can guide you through the entire process and help you obtain adequate support for your children.

We can also assist with the modification of child support orders and enforcing child support payments.
