Both parents are required to support their children financially and emotionally. Child support is based on the Washington Child Support Schedule. Child support can always be modified by the court upon the request of the parent, and may be granted in order to meet changes in the needs of the children, or to reflect changes in a parent's ability to pay the original support order.
