When Can I Establish Child Support in CA?

Our Glendale family law attorneys have guided countless clients through their custody and child support problems and we have the skills needed to effectively protect your rights and financial well-being. A divorce can pose many difficult problems for parents, which is why it's important that you come to a financially beneficial resolution.

Can You Go to Jail for Not Paying Child Support in California?

Yes, you can. A judge in California can fine an unfit parent for past-due child support up to $1,000 and sentence them to up to five days in jail. Typically, judges don't fine parents since that money could go towards past-outstanding child support payments.

At Holmes & Holmes, we understand the various aspects of child support, including:

  • The non-custodial parent will be ordered by the court to pay monthly child support to the custodial parent.
  • Child support payments will need to be made to the custodial parent until the child graduates from high school or reaches the age of 19.
  • The amount of support is determined, in part, by the income and expenses of both parties.

Child support can be used to pay for any number of expenses, such as the child's medical bills or extracurricular activities. It can also cover the cost of toys, movies, and other age-appropriate entertainment for the child. It may even be used to cover the costs of cable or Internet if the child uses these frequently.

After discussing these issues with our client, we can help predict what the court will rule in relation to who must pay child support and how much support must be paid. We have the experience necessary to relentlessly fight on your behalf both in and out of the courtroom.
