California Child Support | Child Joint Custody

California child support is calculated based on the California child support guidelines laid down by the legislature in California. You can access a California child support calculator on the website of the Department of Child Support Services but the calculation of child support will be based on the net disposable income of each parent and the amount of time each parent cares for the child.

Ultimately the Family Law Judge or Court Commissioner will have the ultimate say as to what each parent’s child support obligations will be and the calculator can only provide a rough estimate. You can check out the California child support calculator booklet elsewhere on this site and it will guide you through the use of the calculator.
