California Law - How is Child Support Enforced? The court typically requires that costs of child support and spousal support be deducted from the employee's paycheck or directly from the payer's bank account. The court may require a payer to establish an account if he or she does not have one. If a payee is 30 days late with child support, the recipient can apply for a notice of delinquency. If this notice is issued and itself becomes 30 days overdue, then a penalty will apply. The penalty is 6% of the amount due per month, up to a year (72% of the amount due). Also, California has adopted the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act. This act helps assure that other states will honor the California support decree, and vice versa. The fact that the custodial parent improperly denies access to the other parent does not excuse the obligation to pay child support. Sections 3556, 3761, 4508, 4722, 5200.
