Title: Child Support: Review of Statewide Uniform Child Support Guideline
Summary: The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee invites public comment on the Review of Statewide Uniform Child Support Guideline 2025. Under Family Code section 4054 and federal regulations (45 C.F.R. ยง 302.56), the Judicial Council is required to review the statewide uniform child support guideline every four years and submit a report to the Legislature with findings and any recommendations for appropriate revisions. The 2025 review fulfills both state and federal requirements for the current review cycle and provides a comprehensive assessment of how the guideline operates in practice and identifies issues for further monitoring and evaluation. Prior to submission to the Legislature, the report is made available for public comment so that any comments received may be forwarded to the Legislature for its consideration.
