Difference between Alimony and Child support!
Well, usually ,alimony is a sum of money that is paid each month to a former spouse for their straight advantage. Also , it could be used in a rehabilitative sense so that the receiver can go back to school to further enhance a career or change careers, or it can be used to keep the receiver up to the standard of living which they have been accustomed to earlier, by being married to their former spouse.
Whereas, Child support is an amount of money that is paid to the custodial parent for the care of the children that were born to the payor and the payee during their married lives. :)

Thanx Archie,
For such a important information. Before reading your answer i too belive that alimony and child support are same. An amount that one have to pay his/her spouse in order to take care of the family. Thanx for clearing our confusion. Last edited by tina : 12-09-2005 at 03:38 PM.
