Child Support Agreement

A Child Support Agreement is a legal document entered into by the parents, either voluntarily or as part of a divorce or separation agreement, setting forth the terms and conditions of child support payments. The agreement typically includes the amount of support, the frequency and method of payment, and any additional provisions, such as provisions for health insurance coverage or extraordinary expenses. The purpose of the agreement is to establish a clear and enforceable obligation for the payment of child support and to minimize the need for court intervention.
