What is a child support order?

The Court must issue a support order before a non-custodial parent can be made to pay child support. The Child Support Agency will first attempt to negotiate with the non-custodial parent to obtain a court order, which is called a Voluntary Support Agreement. A court appearance is not required for this action. If the non-custodial parent does not voluntarily provide support, a civil court action must be initiated to obtain a support order.

A Child Support Order is a document from a court that states (a) when, (b) how often, and (c) how much a parent is to pay for child support. A Child Support Order is typically part of a divorce decree or paternity judgment.
