At the Gallagher Law Office, L.L.C., ensuring that children have the financial support they require to meet their needs is an important aspect of our commitment to children. Legally, “child support” is a term that is used to refer to the amount of money paid by one parent to the other for the daily and long-term needs and expenses of the minor children.

In some cases the court can order a variety of different support options, including money to be paid out to the parent directly, or to institutions for the expenses of the children.
