Child Custody and Support Act

The Child Custody and Support Act governs how custody of children is decided and how financial support should be provided after parents separate or divorce. It aims to ensure the child's best interests are prioritized, outlining factors considered in custody arrangements, such as the child's wellbeing and parental capabilities. It also sets guidelines for child support payments, ensuring that the non-custodial parent contributes financially to the child's upbringing. The Act emphasizes cooperation between parents and the importance of stable, loving environments for children, while also providing legal frameworks to resolve disputes when necessary.
