Child support within the state of California is determined according to the current set of state laws. Currently, the amount is determined by both the current income available and the time the child is spent within each parent's homes. The California courts will consider income from all sources when specifying the amount. Health insurance for the child will also be included in the total ongoing child support amount. In the event that the non-custodial parent fails to make their required child support payments, the custodial parent has rights and can file a motion with the respective courts for payment. Attempts to recover payment will be made amicably, but in the event that payments are not made, the individual could be found in contempt of court. Local child support agencies provide help and support for individuals seeking child support within the state.
