The Modern Rules of Child Support Payment that You Need to Know

Child support payments are a prevalent and important matter that I also get from clients who owe child support. If you are actually providing the money, you know that there is a standard procedure in California that is enforced by the courts to decide the payment that the providing party must pay to the parent in custody.

In general, both parents have a financial responsibility to protect their children, and this responsibility is decided by the popular "Dissomaster" method. This tax-based system takes into account the incomes of both parents and the time each spent with the children.

Many vital considerations, such as child care costs, workplace fees, insurance benefits, mortgage interest rates, etc., play a crucial role. A total sum will be made based on the numbers used in this system.

There may be some reasons for paying higher child support, such as whether you make a lot more money than the other parent and NO your current spouse's earnings are not eligible for child support. 

When you don't spend a lot of time with your children, average time-sharing is usually 20% for a parent who is "non-custodial" and 80% for a parent who is in custody. Moreover, when you're spending money on your property, that increases your responsibility. As you are entitled to deduct the expense of your tax refund, and it is perceived to be a profit to you. Also, when the other parent is responsible for medical costs or your children have higher daycare costs.
