What Does Child Support Cover?
One of the questions we often get asked is, “What is child support intended to pay for?” Is it supposed to cover all of the child’s expenses? If not, what is and isn’t included? The answer can vary from one case to another, so it’s important to consult with a child support lawyer to discuss your specific circumstances. With that being said, child support is typically meant to cover the child’s necessities. This includes:
- Housing
- Utilities (for example, electricity and water)
- Food
- Clothing
- Education
Beyond paying for these necessities, parents often spend additional money on their children so that they can play sports, attend camps, and participate in other extracurricular activities. Courts typically expect that parents will share the burden of these additional expenses, but if the parents are unable to reach an agreement, then the judge may factor the costs into the child support order.
