Section 4052.5 Of Article 2. Statewide Uniform Guideline From California Family Law Code >> Division 9. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.
4052.5
. (a) The statewide uniform guideline, as required by federal
regulations, shall apply in any case in which a child has more than
two parents. The court shall apply the guideline by dividing child
support obligations among the parents based on income and amount of
time spent with the child by each parent, pursuant to Section 4053.
(b) Consistent with federal regulations, after calculating the
amount of support owed by each parent under the guideline, the
presumption that the guideline amount of support is correct may be
rebutted if the court finds that the application of the guideline in
that case would be unjust or inappropriate due to special
circumstances, pursuant to Section 4057. If the court makes that
finding, the court shall divide child support obligations among the
parents in a manner that is just and appropriate based on income and
amount of time spent with the child by each parent, applying the
principles set forth in Section 4053 and this article.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require
reprogramming of the California Child Support Automation System,
established pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 10080) of
Part 1 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, a change
to the statewide uniform guideline for determining child support set
forth in Section 4055, or a revision by the Department of Child
Support Services of its regulations, policies, procedures, forms, or
training materials.
