Child support

This topic covers a child’s right to financial support from their parents.

If a child lives with one parent all or most of the time, the other parent may be required to pay child support. Whether you are straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans, and if you qualify as a parent or a step-parent, you may be required to pay child support. Courts use the Child Support Guidelines to make decisions about child support.
