California Child Support
Divorce Lawyer in Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks & Ventura County
Once child custody has been determined, you may be required to establish
terms for a
child support agreement. In determining the cost of child support that a non-custodial parent
may need to pay, the court follows guidelines set forth by the state.
Courts keep the child's best interests in mind when making these determinations.
Child support guidelines help calculate a minimum amount of support that
a parent may have to pay and are based off a few deciding factors, including:
- Parent's employment
- Expenses
- Cost of raising a child
