how does child support payments work
A child support order is a legal order that establishes a parent's periodic obligation to pay child support. A parent also may be ordered to provide health insurance or pay all or part of a child's reasonable and necessary medical expenses.A child support order is based on the specific circumstances of the parties and it states the amount owed, the frequency (weekly, monthly), where to send payments, and other terms. A written agreement does not change the terms of the parent's support order. 2  If you go to the clerk of court's office and pay what you owe, you should be able to get your license back at a local DHSMV or tax collector office 2 business days after the Child Support Program receives your payment.
