13. CAN CHILD SUPPORT BE PAID THROUGH THE COURT?
Yes.If the court order says so, the child support may
be made payable through the court.Payment in this manner is the preferred
method.This allows parents to be sure that payments are properly recorded and
avoids problems of payments made in cash directly to the custodial parent with
no receipt given.If child support is paid through the clerk's office, the clerk
will also help enforce the order through contempt proceedings if the payor is
in arrears.This is done at no cost to the custodial parent.When payment is made
through the clerk, it must be in the form of cash,certified check or money
order so that the payment can be mailed out to the custodial parent right away,
instead of waiting for a personal check to clear.
