A child support agreement outlines details regarding payments that one parent will provide for the other when he or she assumes the majority of the responsibility for childcare. Such agreements are usually made when the parents live in separate homes. The terms usually allow the recipient to continue receiving payments until children become adults but may sometimes extend longer. In some instances, these agreements are reached privately and in other instances government or legal services are involved.
It is common for couples to have children and decide to raise them while living apart. As a result, the parent with whom the child predominantly resides may seek a contract outlining terms regarding financial payments that the other parent will make to him or her. This is known as a child support agreement. These contracts are often used to eliminate any confusion and debate regarding the finances that the paying parent will provide for the child. They may also be used to provide a ground for legal action in the event the paying parent does not adhere to the agreement.
