Legal Question in Family Law in California

Child support is not just dependent on the timeshare. The relative income of each parent is also considered. For further information, visit http://www.ellifritzlaw.com

In other words, child support is based on not just the amount of visitation, but also upon the income of each party. The only time the support would be zero, on a 50/50 time share, is also if both parties have the same incomes. The statutory presumption is that you pay approximately 28% of your incomes (of both parents) toward raising a child. So, if you have a greater income, then 28% of that greater number means that you actually will end up paying child support. Hope that helps. Good luck!
