A quick definition of child:

Child: A child is someone who is younger than 18 years old. They have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults. In family law, a child is the son or daughter of one or both parents. When parents get divorced, they have to decide who will take care of the child, when the child will see each parent, and how much money each parent will give to support the child. Even if a person is older than 18, they can still be considered a child in family law if they are still in college.

A more thorough explanation:

Under the law, a child is a person who is below the legal age or the age of majority. In most states, the age of majority is 18. This means that children have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults.

In family law, a child is the biological or adopted offspring of one or both parents. In the case of divorce, the child is considered an ancillary issue to the litigation. This means that before the divorce can be finalized, all issues regarding the child, such as custody, visitation, and child support, must be decided.

For example, if a couple with a child decides to get a divorce, they must come to an agreement about who will have custody of the child and how much child support will be paid. The child's well-being is the most important factor in these decisions.

It's important to note that the age of majority varies from state to state and from country to country. In some places, the age of majority is 21, while in others it may be as low as 16.

Overall, a child is a young person who is still developing and growing. They require special care and attention from adults to ensure their well-being and success in life.
