Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent or guardian to be used for the care of the child. However, both parents may be ordered to pay child support if a minor lives with a caretaker or is in state care.1 Child support may include money payments and providing health care coverage for the child.2 It is usually paid on the first day of the month.3
