When you’re a primary custodial parent, this means keeping a roof over their head as well as taking them to school and activities, but for a the non-primary caregiver, this means something different.
By law, child support is defined as the direct financial responsibility of the non-custodial parent to any involved children through payments to the custodial parent.
