NEW YORK Part 57

3.     What do we need to do to get child support?

What is child support?


Child support is money one parent pays the other to help support a child. Child support includes expenses like the child’s health insurance and medical costs, educational expenses, and even child care while the custodial parent is at work or school. Usually, the parent who spends less time with the child makes payments to the other parent. The amount of child support is based on the income of both parents, however, any order for child support takes into account what each parent can provide.
