Legal Question in Family Law in California

What percentage of daycare am I responsible for?

What portion of child care am I obligated to pay for day care costs for my son? I do currently pay child support per guide line. The order does not state that I am to pay any portion of child care, and honestly I couldn't afford to right now anyways. However, I do want to be prepared for any costs that might be incurred whether by second job or winning the lotto. So if it's required that I pay half of day care, fine. I just want to know the law regarding this issue. Thanks!

you dont have to pay anything unless there is a court order but courts routinely make parents pay 50% of day care when they order it.
