With child support as with child custody, the focus of both parents needs to be on the child financially and emotionally, not on the maximization or minimization of child support payments:
- Parenting time: The California formula factors in the amount of time each parent spends with the child.
- Income of both parents: Both parents' incomes after tax deductions will be considered in determining child support.
- Special needs: Does your child have special medical or emotional needs that incur additional expenses? Are there day care costs or school expenses that are out of the normal range?
- Tax deductions: Which parent should have the child tax deduction? The answer isn't always obvious. By reviewing and understanding each parent's financial situation, a solution can be crafted that meets the needs of both parents.
