Child support refers
to the payments made from one spouse to the
other for the support and upbringing of
their children. Parents have a legal
obligation to make sure their child is taken
care of financially, regardless of their
divorce or never having been married. Child
support payments are normally made by the
non-custodial parent. Parents may request a
paternity test prior to paying support
payments. Child support payments do not
have to be decided by the courts. Parents
can come to their own agreement, but will
want to have it legally documented. Parents
who are able to reach an agreement out of
court, normally with the help of their
lawyer, typically have more success with
paying and receiving payments.
