The California Family Code requires parents to contribute to their child's support until the child is emancipated, turns 18 years old, or turns 19 if still in high school. Child support obligations ensure that parents continue providing financial support regardless of their relationship with the child's other parent. The laws aim to close child support loopholes in California that could allow a parent to avoid financial responsibility.
