Who is eligible to receive child support?

The eligibility to receive child support from the Child Support Agency (CSA) depends on several factors. Generally, any individual who has legal custody of a child and is responsible for their overall care and upbringing may be eligible. This includes parents who are divorced, separated, or were never married. Additionally, grandparents or other guardians who have legal custody of the child may also be eligible. To be considered eligible for support, one must have a valid child support order issued by a court or through the CSA. It is important to note that eligibility criteria might vary based on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. For detailed information and to determine eligibility, individuals are encouraged to contact the CSA directly or consult their website for specific guidelines and requirements.
