It\u2019s possible to obtain a child support order below the amount calculated by the State Uniform Guideline.  Family Code Section 4057 lists certain instances in which the court can order a child support award below the Guideline amount.  Among the instances listed is a stipulation between the parties for a different amount of child support<\/a> that satisfies the requirements of Section 4065.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 4065 conditions court approval of stipulated child support agreements that deviate from the amount established by the Guideline upon the parties declaration of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The parties are fully informed of their rights concerning child support<\/li>
  2. The order is being agreed to without coercion or duress<\/li>
  3. The needs of the children will be adequately met by the stipulated amount<\/li>
  4. The agreement is in the best interests of the children &<\/li>
  5. The right to support has not been assigned to the County pursuant to Section 11477 of the Welfare and Institutions Code and no public assistance application is pending. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to the aforementioned declarations, court approval is conditioned upon the local child support agency<\/a> signing the stipulation if the child support agency is providing enforcement services.  If the children are receiving CalWORKS benefits, there is a pending application for public assistance, or the parent receiving support has not consented to the order, the child support agency cannot sign the stipulated agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately for the party gaining the benefit of a stipulated child support amount below the Guideline amount, the order can be modified in the future without a showing of changed circumstances. \u00a0As a result, either party through their family law attorney<\/a> can seek modification of the stipulated order in favor of the Guideline amount or higher.
