Child Support Lawyer

Orange County Child Support Attorney Kevin B. Gibbs

According to California’s child support guidelines, children must be provided support (also called maintenance) by both parents. The purpose of child support is to enable children to share in the standard of living enjoyed by both parents.

The amount of child support provided in California is determined by a complicated formula. All attorneys have access to computer software that enables them to calculate child support payments based on a variety of inputs. However, what is important is not the calculation, but the advice and counseling that precede it.

The crucial issues in determining child support payments include:

• Who is the custodial parent?
• How much time does the custodial and noncustodial parent have with children?
• What are the net incomes of the custodial and noncustodial parents?
• What are the tax ramifications of child support payments?
• What legally allowed deductions can you require in the child support calculation?
