Regarding child support: When a couple with minor children divorces, one parent will be designated as the guardian. The guardian is responsible for custody and upbringing of the child, providing daily care and education. They also manage the child's property and make consents to the child's legal actions. On the other hand, the non-guardian parent cannot escape responsibility for the child's upbringing just because they do not have custody. Even a non-guardian parent is still a parent and must share the responsibility of raising the child. New rules for custody, child support, parent-child interaction, etc. On May 17, 2024, a law was enacted to amend the Civil Code and other laws to ensure the interests of children after their parents divorce.
