The amount of money you pay or receive in child support will have a great impact on your finances going forward from a divorce or child custody action. Under California law, child support is calculated based on each parent's income and the amount of time each parent has physical custody of the children. Under the law, the greater the percentage of visitation time a parent has, the less they pay in child support. While calculating child support is relatively simple, an attorney is invaluable in making sure that you pay or receive the correct amounts.
