nonsupport

Read a random definition: unessential mistake

A quick definition of nonsupport:

Nonsupport: When someone doesn't take care of a person they are supposed to, like a child, spouse, or someone who depends on them. This is against the law in most places and is also called criminal neglect of family or abandonment of children.

A more thorough explanation:

Nonsupport is a term used in family law to describe the failure to provide financial support to a person for whom one is legally obliged to provide. This can include a child, spouse, or other dependent.

In most states, nonsupport is considered a crime. It is also known as criminal nonsupport, criminal neglect of family, abandonment of minor children, or abandonment of children.

  • A father who fails to pay child support for his children is committing nonsupport.
  • A husband who refuses to provide financial support to his wife, despite being legally obligated to do so, is also committing nonsupport.

These examples illustrate how nonsupport can occur in different types of relationships, but in both cases, the person who is legally required to provide support is failing to do so.
