Child Support
Divorce does not dissolve parental responsibility, considering parents must pay child support. Child support covers expenses such as medical care, food, housing, clothing, and education. If custody is with only one parent, the parent that does not have custody must typically pay the child support. If there is joint custody, the process is a bit different. For example: a fund could be set up in which both parents can withdraw and deposit money depending on when they have custody of their child; or the parent who is better economically can also pay extra money for the child’s expenses; etc.
