Learn more about the process of filing for, changing, and requesting child support, as well as the guidelines that determine child support.
Child support is money paid by a parent to help with the financial needs of a child when the parents don't live together anymore. The parent who the child lives with most of the time is often called the custodial parent. The other parent is often called the non-custodial parent. Generally, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent.
