Do I have to pay child support before divorce is finalized?
If you are going through a divorce or are legally separated, child support may be required before your final divorce. The amount of support and when it's paid depends upon your state's divorce laws and whether a court has issued a temporary or permanent child support order.
Do you file for custody before divorce?
