Child Support Agency

Imagine you have two parents and they are not living together anymore. Even though they are not together, they still love you and want to make sure you have everything you need to grow up happy and healthy.

The child support agency is a group of people that helps make sure you get everything you need, even if your parents are not together. They help make sure that one parent helps the other parent pay for things like clothes, food, toys, and other things you need to have a good life.

The child support agency makes sure that your parents are following the rules and that they are paying enough money to take care of you. This is important because sometimes one parent might not want to help pay for things, and that wouldn't be fair to you.

The agency helps your parents understand how much money they need to pay, and how often they should pay it. They will also help make sure both parents are taking care of their important responsibilities that come with being a parent.

Remember, the child support agency is there to help make sure you get everything you need to have a happy and healthy life.
