The law requires both parents to provide, both financially and emotionally, to the raising of their children. The process of establishing child support payments often causes anxiety and frustration for parents going through the divorce process.
Courts pay special attention to child support because they take the role of protecting children very seriously. In most cases, child support ends when the child turns 18 or graduates from high school – whichever occurs latter. However, termination of child support does not necessarily mean the end of financial support. The parents can always make an agreement with each other to pay for further education or other issues that arise.
If you need assistance with any child support matter, contact a knowledgeable Orange County Family Law attorney who will guide you through the legal process of determining, modifying, or appealing child support payments.
