Child Support in California
California Family Code § 3900 mandates the duty of every parent to support their minor children in a manner suitable to the child's circumstances. Furthermore, this section also lays down that this parental obligation is regardless of marital status, or whether the child is a biological or an adopted child.
This duty to support minor children extends until they attain majority, i.e. 18 years of age. In special circumstances like disability or disease, the court may extend this period beyond 18 years.
Child support in California is calculated by a statewide formula that factors in:
· Number of children
· The income of each parent
· Time spent by each parent with the child
· Whether the child has any special needs
· Other discretionary factors
