§ 3585 Child Support Agreement Severability

• •Child support rules are separate from other divorce agreements.
• •Even if other parts of the agreement change, child support stays the same.
• •The court can enforce child support no matter what happens with property or spousal support.

A couple divorces and agrees that the dad will pay $500 a month for child support and also give the mom their car. Later, the mom sells the car.

The dad still has to pay the $500 for child support, even if the car part of the deal is gone. The child support part stands on its own.
