Protect Yourself by Documenting Child Support Payments
Posted on May 17, 2012 1:55pm PDT
Getting divorced is never easy, especially when children are involved.
Figuring out how much child support to pay, how to pay it and for how
long can be stressful for both parties. In the most extreme cases, one
parent may even claim that the other is not making regular payments, even
when they are. To protect yourself from such allegations, it is important
to retain a
Jacksonville family law attorney to better understand your legal rights. Additionally, it is important
to document all child support payments that are made to your former partner
or spouse. This ensures that you have a record of all payments should
your case be brought to court.
When making
child support payments, another measure you can take to ensure you have a long-standing
record of your payments is to pay via a check instead of cash. Checks
are cashed through banks that keep records which you can access if you
are ever accused of failing to pay child support in Florida. Have you
been consistently making your support payments, but find that you are
