Child support in California is determined using a state mandated guideline. The guideline employs a formula that factors in a number of related figures to arrive at what level of child support obligation is required in a particular situation. The factors that are entered into the formula include:
- Both party's incomes
- Health care expenses
- Daycare expenses
- Educational expenses
- Any extraordinary expenses deemed necessary
For successful executives and professionals, the determination of child support can be quite different than most people who need look no further than their W-2 to determine the income they will report. Compensation for executives and professionals can include:
- Deferred compensation
- Stock options
- Bonuses
It is critical that you have an attorney who understands how to present evidence of income when such individualized compensation is present. This is true for both executives and professionals and their spouses.
