Child Support in California

California law states that parents are financially responsible for their children until they turn 18. If you and your co-parent are divorced or raising your child separately, you must determine how to share this financial responsibility. Generally, the parent who primarily cares for a child will receive child support. 

Child support is designed to cover essential needs, including housing, food, education, and healthcare, ensuring that children receive consistent support despite changes in parental relationship status. By participating actively in arranging and maintaining support agreements, both parents contribute to providing their child with a balanced lifestyle.

How Do Courts Determine Child Support?

Simi Valley courts and others across the state consider the following factors when determining child support amounts:

  • Both parents’ income and tax status
  • The family’s custodial arrangement (i.e., who spends the most time with the child)
  • The number of children
  • Other factors they believe are relevant

The aim is to balance the child’s financial well-being, with the court carefully evaluating both parents’ financial capacities and obligations. Any additional needs, such as extracurricular activities or special medical care, are also considered to ensure comprehensive support.
