Under California law, each parent has an equal obligation to support their child in a manner suitable to the child’s circumstances. This means that a working parent, and a stay at home parent are both obligated to support the child. In San Diego, we use a system called the Dissomaster to calculate support. It is a sophisticated calculator that takes many factors into consideration including: timeshare, income (actual or imputed, active or passive), tax filing status, exemptions, deductions, and many other factors. The laws effecting child support are vast, and by no means simple. Many attorneys like to get by knowing the basics, and fail to dig deep into the nitty-gritty, deep, dark corners of these laws. At Blagof Law Firm we know the code inside and out. If there is an exception, an exemption, a circumstance or rule that applies to your case we already know about it, and we will use it to your advantage. Don’t get stuck in the mainstream. Let your case rise above the rest. Get it right the first time with Blagof Law Firm.
