Re: child support question

Upon your death your child support obligation ends. You should consider life insurance or setting up a trust fund to aid your child in the future. I think I am aware of insurnace that you can get through the military or through an organization called USAA. You should look into it.

You should also prepare a will so you can designate how your estate is handled and your wishes for your child.

If I can be of further service or you need more information you can contact me at [email protected] or 516.746.4747.

Good Luck and thank you for serving and protecting our freedom.
