Is There a Limit to the Support One Can Be Ordered to Pay?

In California, there isn’t a cap to the amount of support that can be ordered. There is a specific formula used to determine child support, and therefore a limit cannot exist that would undermine the existing method for calculating child support. There are, however, some extremely limited scenarios in which the court can deviate from this rule.

When Does Child Support End?

Child support typically ends when the child graduates high school at the age of 18 if they are living with the custodial parent. If the child has not graduated at 18 but is still a full-time high school student, support can continue until they graduate or until they turn 19.

Can the Amount of Child Support Be Changed?

Child support can be modified after the fact. Changes in circumstances are often a reason for parents to have to re-evaluate their finances and speak with a lawyer about making changes that reflect a new situation.
