How do I receive child support payments?

In Florida, there are several ways to receive child support payments. The most common is through the state’s official child support enforcement agency, the Department of Revenue (DOR). The DOR provides services to parents to enforce the legal obligation to pay child support. They establish the amount of child support that must be paid, collect payments from the paying parent, and distribute the payments to the receiving parent. If you are not receiving payments through the DOR, you can also work directly with the paying parent to establish a payment plan and receive payment. This can be done through direct deposit into your bank account or another payment platform. Finally, if the paying parent needs a reminder, the court can order deductions from his or her wages or bank accounts. The DOR will work with the paying parent’s employer to deduct the payment from the parent’s paycheck, or with the paying parent’s bank to collect the payment from his or her account. It is important to remember that child support is a legal obligation, and if the paying parent is not following the court’s order, you have legal options available to enforce the court’s order. To learn more, it is best to contact a qualified family law attorney or contact the DOR for more information.
