child support agreements

Child support agreements are legally binding arrangements that specify how a parent will financially contribute to their child's needs, such as food, clothing, education, and healthcare. These agreements can be made voluntarily between parents or ordered by a court when parents cannot agree. They aim to ensure the child's well-being is prioritized, regardless of the parents’ relationship status. The specifics, including the amount and payment schedule, are tailored to the child's needs and the parents' financial situations. Both parents are responsible for adhering to the agreement to support their child's development and stability.
