How We Calculate Child Support Has Changed

Did you know California has changed how child support is calculated? This change is meant to better reflect the financial circumstances of parents and may increase or decrease your child support amount.

Your existing order will not change unless you or the other parent request a review of your case.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss how these changes may affect you or request a review of your case. 

There is no guarantee that your child support amount will increase or decrease based on these changes. 

You can run a calculation specific to your situation online at childsupport.ca.gov/guideline-calculator. This calculator provides an estimate and the amount our office calculates may differ.
