Payment of Child Support and Wage Assignments

Wage Assignment

A wage assignment means that the child support is taken directly out of the paycheck of the person paying

support. The amount withheld is sent to the Family Support Payment Center. The Family Support Payment

Center will then forward the support to the person receiving support. Child support withheld pursuant to a wage

assignment cannot be sent directly to the party receiving support. A record will be kept of all payments.

If a wage assignment is not ordered, then the child support may be paid directly to the person receiving

support. The person paying support may also voluntarily send payments to the Family Support Payment Center.

If the child support is not paid to the Family Support Payment Center, it is extremely important that each parent

keep accurate records of the amount of child support paid. This means that the party paying support may not

receive credit for his or her payments if he or she does not have receipts or cancelled checks. Because of this, it

is proper to request a receipt from the parent receiving support.

If the person paying support is currently unemployed or self-employed, the wage assignment may still be

ordered, but it will not take effect until the person paying support begins receiving regular wages.
