Legal Question in Family Law in California
How does the District Attorney set the fees for child support?
I thought Child Support was based on the amount of money I made in a month's time. They are taking out over $500 for one child and over $435 for the other child and I don't make $2400 each month.

Re: How does the District Attorney set the fees for child support?
Child support is generally based on dad's gross income, mom's gross income and the amount of time the child is with each parent. There is a provision for a deduction for child support that is actually paid for a child of another relationship. There are few other factors that may also be considered.
