Child Support

Child support is defined as a court-ordered payment of money from one parent of a child to another. These payments may include healthcare, child care, expenses for education, etc. Children have an inherent right to the support of their natural or adoptive parents and there are specific legal obligations for both parents to provide necessary support for a child.

A child support lawyer understands these obligations and can provide guidance in determining what type of support a child and spouse are legal entitled to.
