The criminal penalties for child abuse depend on many factors including:
- The state in which the child abuse occurred;
- The extent of the physical and / or mental injury of the child;
- Any permanent nature of injuries sustained by the child
- The frequency of the child abuse;
- Use of a deadly weapon in committing the abuse;
- Any act of sexual abuse;
- Use of malicious torture;
- Caging of the child; and
- Previous conviction for similar child abuse offenses.
A defendant may be charged with misdemeanor or felony child abuse, depending on these and other factors. This may mean months in jail or potentially decades in prison if convicted.

What is the definition of child support?
Generally, in a divorce when one parent is awarded the custody of the children, the other parent is ordered to pay child support so the child can share in the standard of living of both parents. It is the amount of money the non custodial parent must pay to help meet the expenses associated with raising their child on a daily basis. When determining the amount of child support, the courts must consider the state child support guidelines, the parents' income and earning capacity and the amount of time the children spend with either parent. Child support must be paid until the child is 18 years of age. If the child is living with the receiving parent and is in high school, child support will end when the child completes 19 years of age or graduates whichever occurs first.
