Child Custody and Support

Child custody refers to the legal determination of where a child lives and who makes important decisions about their upbringing, such as education and health. It can be sole or joint between parents. Child support involves financial contributions from one parent to the other to help cover the child's expenses, including food, clothing, and education. Courts typically calculate support based on income, needs, and custody arrangements. The goal of both custody and support decisions is to ensure the child's well-being and stability, prioritizing their best interests in family law.
