How Can I Check Child Support Payments Online?
How can I check my child support payments online is a common question amongst both custodial and non custodial parents in a child custody dispute.
To check child support payments is a straightforward task provided your state makes this facility available online and most states do.
Online Child Support Account
It is a good idea to open an online child support account which will allow you to make your child support payments by credit card or debit card. To set up an online child support account you will need your case number(which will be assigned by the Court) and your social security number. This will allow you to verify all of your child support paments and you will receive a confirmation email of your payment.
This payment trail and proof of payment can be very useful in the event of any disputes surrounding your child support payments and any allegations in this regard which might drag you back into court. There is a fee of 3.5% in some states such as Florida for the service and you can make your payment by electronic cheque or credit card. Some states will only provide you with a record of the most recent payments you have made but all of your payments will be recorded and you can check with the office of the Court Clerk if you need documentary proof for tax purposes of if a dispute arises which brings you back to court.
The vast majority of states in the United States provide, through their child support agency websites, the facility to make and check child support payments online and it is clearly a good idea to ensure that you are compliant with your child support obligations. It if very handy also if you change address as no matter where you live you can still make your payments online and view your history of child support payments when you need to at the push of a button.
For more information just ring or access on the internet your local court office and look for the child support section-all of the information will be provided in a secure environment and you can open your child support account online.
