Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 34201 — Purposes., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 34201. Purposes.
I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds and declares that child support is a basic legal right of Guam’s parents
and children, that mothers and fathers have a legal obligation to provide financial support for their children
and that child support payments can have a substantial impact on child poverty and local welfare
expenditures. It is therefore I Liheslatura’s intent to encourage payment of child support to decrease overall
costs to Guam taxpayers while increasing the amount of financial support collected for Guam’s children.
