Child support is a legal obligation of parents to provide for their minor children\u2019s financial needs following separation or divorce. It is governed by provisions such as Section 20 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, and judicial precedents under personal and secular laws. The objective is to safeguard the child\u2019s right to education, healthcare, nutrition, and overall development, consistent with the best interest doctrine. Legal intervention ensures equitable contribution from both parents, structuring of child maintenance orders, and facilitation of custodial and visitation arrangements. Advocates also aid in enforcement or modification of child support orders as circumstances evolve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
