Riverside Child Custody Attorney

Paying Child Support

Child support is an amount of money that one parent pays to another for the necessary costs of a child's living and medical expenses. Determining the amount of child support to be paid tends to be a highly contentious issue in most divorces. If you are faced with paying child support, you should speak to a Riverside child custody attorney.

Under California law, both parents have a legal responsibility to provide for their children. Depending on thetype of custody awarded by the court (sole custody or joint custody), paying child support may be required of just one or both parents. The amount of child support is determined by set guidelines that take into account each parent's income and the amount of time the child spends with each parent. The specific child support payment you may be required to pay or may vary dramatically on a case-by-case basis. This is one of many reasons it is important to involve an attorney as soon as possible.
