The importance of child support:
Child support covers everything a child needs, and even more, during the growth and formative years. A parent’s first and principal obligation is to support his or her minor children according to the parent’s circumstances and station in life, and children should share in the standard of living of both parents.

Thus, the amount of a child support award is more than a question of bare necessities. If the child has a wealthy parent, that child is entitled to, and therefore needs something more than the bare necessities of life. Where the supporting parent enjoys a lifestyle that far exceeds the custodial parent’s living standard, child support must to some degree reflect that more opulent lifestyle.

This is so even though, as a practical matter, the child support payments may incidentally benefit others in the custodial household whom the payor parent has no obligation to support (e.g., custodial parent owed no spousal support, adult children, or children from custodial parent's other relationships). Children are entitled to share in non-custodial parent’s elevated standard of living, despite custodial parent's lower income.
