Bradley Amendment

The Bradley Amendment is a law that helps children get the money they need from their parents to live. Sometimes, parents separate or get divorced, and when this happens, the parent who takes care of the child may need help paying for important things like food, clothes, and a home. The Bradley Amendment says that the parent who does not take care of the child must pay a certain amount of money every month to help with these things. Even if they lose their job or have other problems, they still have to pay this money. This way, the child can have what they need to live a good life. The Bradley Amendment is very important because it helps children get the financial support they need to grow up healthy and happy.
