How does Child Support Work in California? 

When a marriage ends, both parties must resolve issues concerning their children's future and make the best possible decisions. Once child custody is determined, the next step for the parents is to resolve child support. Child support laws are established by the state but enforced by federal laws. 

Under California law, both parents have to support their child until the age of 18. This holds even if the parents never lived together or never married. It also holds if the child never resided with them or currently doesn't. Child support begins on the birth date of the child and continues until they attain majority. It includes cash payments based on the parent's income and the child's particular needs.
