Child support is usually thought of as a financial
obligation of a non-custodial parent to provide for
the welfare of his or her child. The amount of
and duration of the financial support payment is often
determined by a court as the result of the divorce or
other dissolution of a child's parent's marriage.
Child support may also be awarded to a custodial
parent where the child was born out of wedlock but the
biological father can be proven.
In the United States it is presumed that the
biological parents of a child have a legal obligation
to provide for the support and welfare of the child.
Even if the parent does not have visitation rights or
child does not live with either parent, it is still
incumbent upon both parents to provide financial
support for the child.
The failure of one or both of the parents to make
support payments to the child's custodian can be
brought before a court to compel payment. This
situation is often revealed in the news when a
custodial single mother does not receive the regular
child support payments that have been court ordered of
the child's father. In these situations, there
are various legal remedies the court and custodial
parent can take to enforce that the support payments
are received.
