family support

Read a random definition: H.

A quick definition of family support:

Family support is a type of financial help that a parent may give to their former spouse or partner to support their children. It is a combination of child support and alimony, which means that the amount of money is not divided between the two. This helps ensure that the children's needs are met and that the parent receiving the support can also maintain their own financial stability.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Family support is a type of financial assistance that combines child support and alimony payments into one amount. This means that the total amount of money paid to the recipient is not divided into separate amounts for child support and spousal support.

Example: John and Jane are getting a divorce. As part of the divorce settlement, John agrees to pay family support to Jane. The family support payment is $1,000 per month. This means that Jane will receive $1,000 each month, which includes both child support and alimony.

Explanation: In this example, John is paying family support to Jane, which means that the $1,000 payment includes both child support and alimony. This type of support is often used when a couple has children and one spouse needs financial assistance to support themselves and the children after the divorce. By combining the child support and alimony payments into one amount, it can simplify the payment process and make it easier for both parties to manage their finances.
