First video in a six video series explaining California child support laws. This introductory video covers basic child support rules. California law requires parents to support their children. Child support is owed until the child turns 18 years old. If the child turns 18 and is still a full-time student, then child support continues to be owed until the child graduates from high school. For example, if a child turns 18 years old in January of their senior year in high school and graduates the following June, child support is going to be owed until the child graduates. However, even if a child is a full time student, if they have not graduated from high school by age 19, then child support ends upon their 19th birthday. If parents agree in their divorce settlement to continue child support beyond the age of 18, the courts will enforce that agreement. Courts do not have jurisdiction to order a parent to pay for their child’s college education. However, just like a parent can agree to pay child support beyond the age of 18, if a parent agrees to pay for part or all of a child’s college education expenses as part of a divorce settlement agreement, then the court will enforce that agreement. Child support is not tax deductible by the payor and not taxable income to the recipient. There are various elements to a proper child support order. First, there is the “base” amount of child support to be paid. For example, a father may pay the mother $500 per month in base child support. The base amount of child support is usually calculated using a computer program. In addition to the base amount of child support, a proper child support order should include provisions about who will maintain health insurance coverage for the child or children and how any out-of-pocket health care costs will be shared. A proper child support agreement should also include provisions about sharing the costs of child care; the cost of extra-curricular activities; and which party will claim the child as an exemption on future income tax returns. If you were to look at the child support laws for the State of California, you would see that the laws include a specific mathematical formula for calculating the base amount of child support that should be paid. The base child support number that the mathematical formula produces is called the “guideline” number. The child support formula is so complicated that you need a computer program to run the calculation. There are different child support computer software programs that are marketed. The programs go by different names, such as DissoMaster, XSpouse, SupportTax, and CalSupportPRO. They all produce about the same numbers. Most all of the courts in California use the program that is called DissoMaster.
