Child Support

Both parents must provide for, or support, their children whether married or divorced. However, when a divorce occurs, the court determines the nature, amount and duration of the support so that one parent is not left with the entire burden. Child support has come to mean the payments one parent makes to the parent who has primary custody of the children.
