Child Support
A parent’s obligation to contribute to the economic maintenance and education of his or her child, generally in a custody or
divorce action, is considered child support. In most instances, child support continues until the children from a divorce
become adults. State laws have been created to enforce child support payments.
Child Support Facts:
- A parent has the obligation to provide for their offspring in the event a divorce occurs.
- A child has a legally binding opportunity to receive parental support until they reach legal adult status.
