At the Law Offices of Gary R. Matta, we believe and understand that your children are of the utmost concern.  We put that
belief and understanding into practice by diligently pursuing the orders for child support that your children are entitled to.  
We highly recommend that you consult with an experienced attorney during the divorce process to make sure that your
children actually receive what they are entitled to, as the process is often lengthy and complex- particularly if the two parties
disagree on issues of child support.

In California,  calculation of child support is regulated.  Child support is calculated based in part on the following:



  • the amount of income each party is capable of earning;

  • the number of children involved;

  • daycare and medical expenses;

  • the custody arrangement;

  • the tax filing status of each party.




Parents may agree on an established amount of child support independent of a court's calculation; however, the court must
approve this agreed upon amount.  

Below are some helpful internet links to resources on child support in California:





We advise that you consult an attorney experienced in the calculation of child support and ensure that your child's best
interests are obtained.
