Columbia Child Support Lawyer
Helping Families Understand Child Support Laws in South Carolina
In South Carolina, both parents are required to contribute to the well-being
of their children, and this includes providing child support. Child support
is meant to provide the child with the necessary expenses to cover their
following needs:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Medical
- Educational
Typically, it is the parent without
child custody, called the "non-custodial parent," who is responsible for paying
child support to the parent that has custody, called the "custodial
parent."
