How is child support set in a modification?
California has a law which sets the child support amount based on your and your spouse’s (or other parent’s income, if you’re not married) incomes after federal taxes, state taxes, social security, and other mandatory deductions along with the amount of time you each spend with your children. Peace Talks uses a court-approved computer program to calculate the guideline child support, and we can run these calculations for you in your mediation session if you wish. We’ll also discuss each parent’s needs along with the children’s needs so that your agreement is tailored to your family.
