California Child Support Attorneys
Secure the support your family deserves. Child support is one of the most important aspects of ensuring a child’s well-being after a divorce or separation. At Cage & Miles, our experienced California child support lawyers are here to help you understand your rights, calculate fair support, and advocate for the financial stability your child needs.



How Child Support Works in California
Child support is a court-ordered monthly payment that one parent provides to the other to help cover the everyday needs of their minor child or children. These payments ensure that children continue to receive proper care and financial stability after a divorce or separation.
In California, child support may also include additional expenses, known as “add-ons.” These can be:
- Mandatory add-ons: Childcare expenses and uncovered medical costs for the child.
- Discretionary add-ons: Expenses such as private school tuition, tutoring, or extracurricular activities, which the court may order depending on the circumstances.
By understanding both standard payments and potential add-ons, parents can better prepare for what child support will look like in their case.

Helping Parents Resolve Child Support Matters
When the parents can provide the information needed for the child support calculation and agree on the inputs for the formula, guideline child support can be easily calculated by an experienced child support lawyer. Parents are often able to reach agreements on child support since the court is mandated to order the guideline amount.
