Contact a California Family Law Attorney to Discuss Child Support
Parents have a duty to nurture and support their children whether parents are married or divorced, separated or never married. If you are approaching divorce or have had a child out of wedlock, it is important to settle questions of child support and child custody in a timely manner. Your children's best interests are the guideline in all issues of child support and child custody.
You may be aware of the state calculator that is used to determine who pays how much child support to whom when parents are not together. The California state child support calculator is presumed to cover shelter, clothes and food. On top of that, there may be additional costs incurred by a custodial parent, such as the following:
- Un-reimbursed medical expenses
- Fees for extracurricular activities: sports and music, for example.
- Tutoring
- Therapy
- Private school tuition
Provisions for these additional costs of child rearing may be built into a divorce decree or otherwise settled through a court order. Sometimes, a post-judgment modification is appropriate to deal with special needs that arise.
