                 CHILD
                SUPPORT 
                 In many countries, child support is the
                ongoing obligation for a periodic payment made by a
                non-custodial parent to a custodial parent, caregiver or
                guardian, for the care and support of children of a relationship
                or marriage that has broken down. In family law, child support
                is often arranged as part of a divorce, marital separation,
                dissolution, annulment or dissolution of a civil union and may
                supplement alimony (spousal support) arrangements.
