Child support is defined as monetary payment for the support and well-being of a child. Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent to cover the child’s day-to-day expenses, such as: food, shelter, clothing, educational expenses, and medical expenses. In most cases, child support is paid to the custodial parent until the child reaches the legal age of 18.

Child Support Payments in Riverside

When a custodial parent requests child support from the non-custodial parent, the court must calculate the amount of child support that should be paid on a month-to-month basis. To do this, the court will add up the gross income of both parents, and then the court will compute a percentage of the total income of the non-custodial parent. The derived percentage is then multiplied by the number of children the non-custodial parent is financially responsible for. This percentage is usually considered the minimum amount of child support the non-custodial parent will have to pay.
