Re: Child Support

California Law requires the court consider the following when setting child support

Father's income before taxes

Mother's income before taxes

Per Cent of time each parent has the child with them

The income of the new spouse is considered only to the extent that it has some affect on the amount of taxes being paid by that parent.

There are some deductions and other factors that may be considered in the calculation.
