Difference between revisions of "Child Support"

<blockquote>In a case like this, the parents would be responsible for paying support to the child but the child would have to start an action to claim child support, and would have to be represented by a litigation guardian. Even assuming that the court is prepared to appoint a litigation guardian, getting a child support order is not necessarily a slam dunk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>There are a few cases when minor children — children under the age of majority — have been found not to be entitled to receive child support. Typically, this happens when a child has chosen to move out, has found a job, and is living independently of his or her parents. A financially self-sufficient child who has left his or her parents' home may not be entitled to receive child support payments from them, especially if the child has refused to maintain a relationship with his or her parents.</blockquote>
