Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Child Support

You can file a motion for child support. But before filing a motion you should run some calculations based on the information you have to determine what amount is possible for support and whether or not it it worth it. There is also a possibility that you could have to pay him support. As the others stated, child support is based on the gross income and percent of time the child is with each parent. There are other factors that may be considered. A consultation with an attorney would be a worth whild investigation.

Re: Child Support

If the wife's net income is less than the husbands net income she would receive child support. That is the simple answer as child support is determined based upon the net incomes of the parties and the amount of time each party spends with the child. Net income is not net income for tax purposes so you should talk to an attorney who does child support. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Re: Child Support

Child support is primarily based upon time share with the child(ren) and relative income of the parties.
