Who has to pay child support?

Liability is imposed upon both parents. Substantially all states have adopted the Uniform Support of Dependents Law. Under that law, “if possessed of sufficient means or able to earn such means, either or both parents shall be required to pay for child support a fair and reasonable sum as the court may determine.”
