Child support is a crucial aspect of ensuring that children receive the financial support they need to thrive. In California, child support is determined based on specific guidelines and factors outlined by the state. At Williams, Drexler, & Mand PC, we understand the importance of child support in providing for children's well-being. Our team can assist California residents with navigating the complexities of child support determinations.

The first step in determining child support in California is to calculate each parent's income. This includes wages, bonuses, commissions, rental income, and any other sources of income. Once each parent's income is established, it is used to determine the base child support obligation according to the state guidelines.

In addition to income, other factors such as the amount of time each parent spends with the child and any special needs or expenses related to the child's care are taken into consideration when determining child support. For example, if one parent has primary custody of the child, the other parent may be required to pay a higher amount of child support.

It's important to note that child support payments are not fixed and can be modified if there are significant changes in circumstances such as job loss or increase in income. Our experienced attorneys at Williams, Drexler, & Mand PC can help parents navigate these changes and ensure that child support arrangements are fair and appropriate.

Enforcement of child support orders is another crucial aspect of ensuring that children receive the financial support they need. Failure to pay court-ordered child support can result in serious consequences such as wage garnishment or even jail time. Our team can help parents enforce child support orders and make sure that children receive the financial assistance they deserve.
