Exploring Efficient Methods for Support Payment Transfers
Hello, my name is Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we are going to be discussing alimony payments and child support, specifically how you can send those payments and how the other party might receive them. There are quite a few different ways to do this, depending on the order of the court or by agreement of the parties.
One very simple method is to obtain certified checks or a payment order from your bank if you are the individual making those payments. This provides a record of the payments, which is essential for accountability. You can then directly hand these payments to the other individual entitled to those funds or mail them and ensure they are certified for proof of delivery.
Importance of Record-Keeping
It’s always important to keep a record of those payments. Make sure to use your bank’s services or checks and avoid making any payments solely in cash. Additionally, you have the option to use payment apps such as Cash App or Venmo, provided you properly designate the payments as child support payments.
Another option is to go through the court clerk’s office. If there is a judicial order, final decree, or any other type of order stating that your alimony or child support payments should go through the court clerk’s office, the individual paying will need to mail or drop off the check at that location. The individual receiving the payments will then receive them via mail at the address they designate, and the court clerks will keep a record of those payments for you.
Alternative Payment Solutions
You can also utilize child support services, where you can mail your check or they can automatically deduct payments directly from your paycheck. They will notify your employer to handle the offset, simplifying the process for you.
In summary, there are several ways to pay alimony or child support. You can choose direct payments with a check, use payment apps, go through the court clerks, or rely on child support services to manage your payments effectively. Always ensure you have a proper record of your transactions.
