It seems most likely to be a self-defining issue. Child support, (typically) being monetary or other essentials assistance to their wife/husband (Depending on who has custody) following the divorce, or if an illegitimate child is found through a paternity suit, then child support will follow.
Raising a child on one income is, most often, notoriously difficult, as medical bills, food, clothing, etcetera are factors, weighing down the single mother or father under a mess of financial obligations, thus, child support.
Helping to finance whatever is necessary in the child's life, quite simply, would be the best general concept for what child support is.
