Child Support is an agreement to pay the primary parent part or all of the child's expenses. These can include clothing, educational expenses, medical costs and general living expenses. Child support is to be used for direct support of the child though benefits may indirectly affect others such as the heating of the child's main residence. Child support calculations are based on many factors, they can be disputed and both the primary parent and secondary parent have rights regarding these issues. Child custody is treated and enforced separately, though conditions may be set at the same hearings. If you are having trouble with child support or child custody a qualified family law attorney can help.

Spousal Support is calculated and conditions set separately from child support and child custody. Spousal support is intended to provide financial support for a spouse accustomed to a particular lifestyle provided by marriage. It may come in the form of monthly payments like child support or it can come as a one-time payment following the separation. Spousal support can be tricky; there are numerous rules & regulations that need to be followed while setting conditions.
