Child Support Orders

Child support orders are legal agreements that require a non-custodial parent to provide financial support for their child after separation or divorce. These orders cover expenses like food, housing, education, and healthcare. The amount is typically determined based on each parent's income and the needs of the child, following specific state guidelines. Child support is intended to ensure that children receive the necessary resources for their upbringing, regardless of the parents' relationship status. Non-compliance with these orders can lead to legal consequences, ensuring that children's welfare remains a priority.
