What is Child Support?
Child support is a court-ordered payment made by one parent to the other to help cover the cost of raising a child. It is designed to ensure the child's financial needs are met—even when parents live apart. In California, courts determine child support by primarily considering each parent’s income and the time spent providing care for the child or children, using a guideline formula to calculate the support amount.
