Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Support and Custody
My girlfriend and I seperated in January of 2007. We have a 2 yr old girl, and a 5 yr old boy. my son just started privite Kindergarten in August, 2007. My daughter goes to pre-school. My half of the schools tuition is $944.00 month. My girlfriend makes $57,000 yr, and I make $72,000 yr. I have the kids 40% of the time, she has 60%. Would it be cheaper for me to pay child support or tuition?

Re: Child Support and Custody
You should consult with an attorney regarding the amount of child support. A rough calculation, without knowing all of the possible factors to be considered, it appears that child support would be about $450 per month plus one half of the child care costs.
