Re: Child Visitation & support In CA

You should consult with an attorney or have a long talk with your attorney. The law prohibits the use of your wife's income to determine child support, with a few exceptions. Her income is put into the child support program for the purpose of determining the amount taxes you pay. As a general rule the addition of her income to the computer program reduces the amount of child support you pay.
