A clerk is a senior official of many municipal governments in the English-speaking world.

In some communities, the position is elected, but in many others, the clerk is appointed to their post.

In almost all cases, the actual title of the clerk reflects the type of municipality he or she works for, thus, instead of simply being known as the clerk, the position is generally referred to as the town clerk, township clerk, city clerk, village clerk, borough clerk, board secretary, or county clerk.

Other titles also exist.

The office has existed for centuries, though in some places it is now being merged with other positions.

In family law and public policy, child support (or child maintenance) is an ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit of a child following the end of a marriage or other relationship.

Child maintenance is paid directly or indirectly by an obligor to an obligee for the care and support of children of a relationship that has been terminated, or in some cases never existed.

Often the obligor is a non-custodial parent.

The obligee is typically a custodial parent, a caregiver, a guardian, or the state.
