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

Nothing brings a couple closer together than children. Sharing hopes, dreams, and fears about little ones, making plans and sharing experiences—it all has the potential to cement loving relationships between two parents. It's ironic, then, that when two parents end their relationship, nothing tears them apart faster than the question, "Who's going to pay for the kids?"

When a relationship ends in divorce or a break-up, both parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children, but typically, the non-custodial parent (known as "the paying parent") usually has to pay child support to the custodial parent ("the receiving parent").
