Re: child support amount

California guidelines are about twice what is currently paid, however, can go up and down somewhat based upon other factors used to calculate income. Child support needs to be modified in the county in which the current child support order was made, unless niether party currently lives in that state, then you would probably have to modify the order in the State of California. If you believe that the child support order should be modified in California you may call me at 619-589-8533 and I can give you a more accurate calculation and advice on what you should do to modify the order. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Re: child support amount

There is a child support calculator for the Virginia Child Support Guidelines which you can find under the Division of Child Support Enforcement's (DCSE)website which is linked to the Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS).

I suspect that for a non-custodial parent making in the range of income which you've attributed to your former husband, that this person's share of the total support obligation as calculated under the Virginia Child Support Guidelines would be considerably higher than $704 per month.
