Child Support Payment Set-up Process
- Payments are to be paid by check or money order only and made out to the custodial parent.
- The custodial parent must bring self-address stamped envelopes to the Circuit Clerk’s Office for payments to be mailed. The last two envelopes will be marked “Last Envelope” as a reminder to bring more into the office.
- The non-custodial parent must pay an annual $36 fee to the Circuit Clerk’s Office.
- Support payments cannot be received by the Circuit Clerk’s Office until an order has been signed by the Circuit Judge.
- Both parties are responsible for providing the Clerk’s Office with current contact information.
- When the child or children have graduated from high school and reached the age of 18, proof of graduation must be filed in our office.
