In California, child support levels are established by guidelines set forth in the statutes. These statutory guidelines use a formula that considers a number of factors including the incomes of the parents, the living arrangements of the child, any special needs of the child, the costs of educating the child and other factors to determine the final child support amount.
Many child support issues are straight-forward. In these situations, our firm can achieve our client's goal in an efficient and affordable manner, recommending a child support level that is agreeable to both parties.
