Unless both parents agree upon an amount, the child support amount is based upon the income the parents taking into account which parent is the custodial parent and how much time is spent with the non-custodial parent. The court will then enter this information into a computerized program commonly referred to as the Disso-Master which will calculate the appropriate child support amount. To get help regarding child support contact Carmichael family law attorney Robert N. Kitay.

Once you have obtained an order from the court awarding child support, the court will assist you in enforcing the order. Some of the common ways to enforce the court order include imposing a wage assignments (child support is taken from the other parent’s wages before he or she even receives it) and placing liens on the other parent’s property. If the other parent fails to comply with these enforcement methods, the court may commence a contempt proceeding which could result in imprisonment of the non-complying parent.
