Disability and Child Support Laws in California

Under California law, child support is calculated based on each parent’s income, as well as the amount of time each parent spends with the child. This means that a parent’s disability does not necessarily exempt them from paying child support, as long as they have an income.

If a parent with a disability has a source of income, such as disability benefits or a pension, this income will be factored into the child support calculation. However, the court may take the parent’s disability-related expenses into account when determining the amount of child support owed. These expenses may include medical expenses, equipment, and transportation costs related to the parent’s disability.

Additionally, if a parent’s disability prevents them from working or earning an income, they may be exempt from paying child support. However, it is important to note that the court may impute income to a disabled parent if they believe the parent is capable of working but chooses not to. The Law Offices of Rick D.
