-BM moved Oct 2003
-Split now 80% (DH)/ 20% (BM)
-DH started paperwork with DCSS in November 2003. DCSS filed and served BM January 27, 2004, Hearing is scheduled for May 27, 2004.
-DH and BM have now negotiated Child Support Amount. BM will pay DH directly. DH is going to stop case with DCSS as soon as the agreement is finalized.
Questions
1) What is the effective date of the Child Support (the date she moved, when the file was started with DCSS, date DCSS filed, or date agreement was reached)?
2) What is a standard "late fee" for late payments?
Thanks!!!

Interest on arrears in CA is 10%. No late fee, but you can request sanctions for contempt of up to 1% of gross income or $500 per day, whichever is greater.
We are almost certain that she will pay late every month.
1) Should the % rate for the arrears be written in to the agreement?
I really appreaciate everything you do for us all!!!

You can, but the amount is prescribed by Statute, so whether it's there or not, it's there.
