As a parent in California, you are obligated to support your minor children financially until they attain majority, or under special circumstances, even beyond that. Whether you are married or unmarried, whether your child is biological or adopted, this rule applies to all parents.

When divorcing spouses in California have one or more children together, the court will decide whether child support should be paid, which parent should pay to the other, and how much the amount would be. These factors aren't set in stone and sometimes need to be litigated due to parent's disagreements.

If you find yourself in such a situation, best seek advice and representation from an experienced child support attorney Orange County who can achieve a fair outcome for you and your children.
