In deciding how much you will receive in California child support, there are many factors taken into consideration. These factors are all lumped into a specific guideline put in place by the State of California.
The guideline, created by the State of California, is used to determine the most fair and reasonable amount for what it takes financially to raise a child. In this guideline, there is a base cost-of-living figure. This figure does not change depending on where you live. That means that, if you do decide to move to a nicer area, you will not receive more child support in San Francisco.
Modifications to the amount of child support you receive are possible.
Here are some of the circumstances that will allow you to request a modification:
- You or your spouse lost a job involuntarily.
- The terms of your child custody arrangement have changed.
- Your spouse has been deployed overseas by the military.
