John Griffith details how California calculates child support.

Hi, my name is John Griffith. I’m a family law and divorce attorney here in San Diego, California. This is one of a series of informational videos addressed at common issues that you see in California divorce and family law cases. Today I’ll be talking about child support. So you have a child support order, you need to have the child support order modified, or you’re a parent with a child, and you need to establish an initial child support order. You need to know what the California law says about child support. Now as far as child support is concerned, California law is very strict as far as setting the amount for child support. State of California has set up a statutory guideline that guides the court and instructs the court with respect to what factors to use to calculate child support. Now once the court uses these factors and makes findings on the factors to be used, they plug these numbers into a computer, and whatever figure the computer comes out with is the order that the court has to make, with only a few exceptions. Now the factors that the court uses when making an initial order for child support or modifying an order that’s already been made for child support, are as follows: the courts going to look at the gross income of both the parties. Now the gross income means the pre-tax income. And whether you’re a W-2 employee or a self-employed business owner, the courts going to look at how much money you make prior to taking out taxes. That’s the first factor that the court uses. The second factor that greatly increases or influences the amount of child support is the time-share percentage with the children. The time-share percentage is the percentage of time that the non-custodial parent spends with the children. The higher the time-share percentage the lower the amount of child support, and the reason for that is because if the non-custodial parent has the children at his or her house for a certain percentage of time, the court considers that the parent is supporting the children for certain percentage of time. The other factor the court looks at is the tax filing status of both parties. Generally the parent that has the kids living at his or her house claims those children as tax exemptions, so that parent would file accordingly with however many tax exemptions are appropriate. Some of the other factors the court looks at as a deduction in the amount of child support ordered would be any health insurance premiums that the non-custodial parent pays. One of the other factors would be a mortgage interest deduction which affects the tax basis of the income, and the reason the court looks at all these factors is that they’re trying to get to the bottom of how much disposable income a parent has to pay child support. One of the most important things you need understand if you need your child support order modified is that there has to be a significant change in circumstances between the last order and the present time and the time that you file your motion to modify child support. Change in circumstances could mean that you’re spending more time with the kids. A change in circumstances could mean that you lost your job. A change in circumstances could mean that you got a raise. And so the parent that has the children could come in and ask the court to increase the child support order. But there needs to be a change in circumstances prior to the court modifying or changing the amount in child support. Child support orders don’t automatically modify if you have a change in circumstances. For instance if you’re paying child support based on a certain level of income, and you lose your job, and you think that you can’t afford to pay the court ordered amount of child support, you absolutely need to hire an attorney to file that motion to modify immediately. And the reason I say that is because the court won’t go any further back in changing that child support order than the date that you actually filed that motion. Now when you file the motion you’ll get a court date, usually in San Diego County; it’s at least two months down the road, but once you go to court and request that the court modify your order downward, the court’s going to make that order retroactive all the way back to the date you filed, but no sooner, no earlier back than that.
