Choose how to pay child support

There are different ways you can pay child support or spousal maintenance. If you’re a paying parent, it’s important you pay on time.

Paying parents who use Private Collect or self management to make child support payments don’t need to tell us about these arrangements.

Child Support Collect is when you pay child support directly to us, we then transfer the payments on your behalf.

Paying parents can make direct payments or third party transfers that fall outside of regular child support payments.
