Can child support be paid directly instead of through the court?

The payments need to go through the courts, else they are not noted as following court orders. If the child is living elsewhere, then try to get the court ruling amended so that you are on the right side of the decree.

∙ 13y agoDon't do that. Pay your child support through either the courts or the State disbursement unit. DO NOT give any money or anything else to the obligee or the child[ren] unless you want it to be considered a gift.

The money pays for a roof over their head, electricity, if they need to pay for a car to drive them to school etc. Most seems to think that food and clothes is all but this regulates everything a child needs. I doubt a child could handle it and also learn to save when possible. Not many kids can handle a very tight budget on their own and think ahead. Child support rarely covers all expenses.

Under the Divorce Act, child support payments are typically made to the other parent, not directly to the child. If one parent wants to give child support directly to the minor child, they should discuss this with the other parent and try to come to an agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may need to be resolved through a court or through mediation.

The terms of the support order dictate to whom and for how long the alloted amount should be rendered. If the order does not contain such specifics, the support money can be sent to the child if said child has reached the age of majority for the state of residence.
How do you transfer child support payments directly to your child and at what age does child support stop?
You cannot pay child support directly to your children. It usually stops at 18 but differs slightly between states and can be prolonged if the child is in college. You need to check your particular child support order, separation agreement and state law. Child support is paid to the custodial parent and not the child. After 18, and usually when the child is attending college, the parents may be able to have the support order modified to be paid to the child if they both agree.
