What is a child support order?

A child support order is a ruling by a judge or administrative agency that sets the amount of money one or both parents must pay to support their child.1 A child support order also says who must get health insurance coverage for the child and how payment for medical expenses that are not covered by insurance will be divided between the parents.2
