Relevant California Family Codes include Family Code 4053, which ensures child support orders meet the childs needs based on each parents ability, and Family Code 4062(b), which allows the court to consider education costs for child support.

what are family codes supporting that?
Sure, here are some relevant California Family codes:
• Family Code *: Child support order must ensure each parent meets their child's needs based on their ability.
• Family Code *(b): Allows court to consider costs related to child's education for child support.
If a person in the United States is incarcerated for a significant period of time and has a property [house] completely paid for with no mortgage; how does this work in terms of the property being transferred to family members or given to the state? Obviously, the incarcerated person will no longer be able to pay property taxes so I am curious to know how something like this is handled.
To address the situation involving property ownership during incarceration in the U.S., consider the following points:
- Property Ownership: The owner can transfer the property through a deed, such as a quitclaim deed, to family members.

- Property Taxes: If unpaid, the state may eventually foreclose for tax delinquency.

- Estate Planning: Setting up a trust or designating beneficiaries can help manage property and taxes.
