Child Support Information and Calculations; Modesto Family Lawyers

If you live in the Modesto, Turlock or Stanislaus County area, and are curious about family law issues, particularly about child support, there are places online that can help you.

Child support guidelines and a child support calculator can be found on the website for the California Department of Child Support Services. Attorneys and courts use a specific program to calculate child support, and those factors include a person's income, expenses, number of children and certain deductions. Courts will generally follow the child support guidelines unless following them would end in an unjust result. By doing your own calculations first, you can have a rough idea of how much child support you will be required to pay out, or expecting to receive.

If you still have more questions about child support, you can call the Modesto attorneys of Howard & Fei, LLP at 510.464.8083, or email us at info@howardfei.com or visit our website.
