Explain, please? > > > ALIMONY! > > SJB More corectly : Child Support! Alimony is money paid by the exhusband to support the ex wife untill such time as she remarries. Child support is money paid by the father for that support of the child which the child would normally ( without the divorce) have reason to expect and was therefore legaly due to the CHILD. This includes food, clothing, housing ,medical care and a reasonable amount of education up to the tile the child is legally of age (This in most cases does not include college). I am not defending the situation only explaining the difference. -- Jeanette Zobjeck ihnp4!ihlpl!zubbie
