Child support is generally ordered by the court in situations in which a child lives with one but not both parents. The non-custodial parent, or the parent with whom the child does not live, is usually responsible for contributing a certain portion of his or her income, based on state child support guidelines, to help support the child, even if the custodial parent has income of his or her own.

In California, child support is based on a computerized formula known as the Dissomaster. The Legal Action Workshop attorneys can advise the client as to whether they will receive or pay child support and what that amount will be. Our attorneys can help you make a request to the court for temporary child support or to modify a prior child support award.
