Legal Question in Family Law in California

I recieve child support for one child. She just turns 18 years on May 24th and child support stops at that time. How is child support calculated for only part of the month? My ex-spouse pays $21,462 per year, which is $1,788.50 per month and he sends $894.25 on the last day of the month and the 15th of the month. Since each month has a different number of days, I came up with one calculation of what child support is per day on an annual bases. He has a different way of calcutating it, using the number of days in the month of May, which pays me less than if she her birthday was in Febuary, when the month only has 28 days.
What is the correct way to calculate what child support should be per day? I live in California if that is helpful.

When not clearly agreed or ordered otherwise, the standard practice in business and law is to use a 30-day month.
