If you're very lucky, the obligee will sign a [notarized] statement acknowledging receipt of the money. It's also possible that a judge will accept your unsupported testimony. If not, you might be paying this a second time. Don't ever give money directly to the obligee (send it to the court, or to the disbursement unit in your state), and don't ever make cash payments!

If you are supposed to pay child support does it count if you just give them cash and not send it in to the department of revenue?
Cash payments will not show up in the records, until/unless you convince the authorities that you made those payments. Never, never, never give the child support to the custodial parent, in cash or otherwise. Pay it through the courts or the State.
What happens when you don't pay a child support judgment?
It varies from state to state, but in general you can have your license suspended, income tax return taken, pay check garnished, and/or face jail time. When making child support payments NEVER NEVER make them in cash form. Always make payments in the form of money orders, checks, or credit cards. Several unwitting victims have paid in cash only to be accused of never making a payment. Without the paper trail there is no proof. Amen. And don't send the payments to the obligee - send your payments to the court or to your State's disbursement unit.

where can i get a cash payout for spousal support payments?
Spousal support payments are not a "sure thing," which is a key element in a cash settlement. While the support/alimony is court-ordered it is not guaranteed, and there is no lender or settlement company that wish to engage in chasing down a spouse to secure payments that were assigned to you. You cannot assign the payments to a lender/settlement company.
How can you prove you have made cash payments for child support?
Pay by check on the dates the payments are due and make certain they are in the correct amounts. Maintain a hard copy record of your cancelled checks. If it comes out of your paycheck then keep copies of your paycheck stubs in a safe place. Do not pay in cash.
How do you stop false back child support collections My husband paid off his child support to the State of NY last year. I just got a letter from a collection agency stating that he owes 18000.?
He needs to prove that he paid, then he can send the proof, to the collection agency. If he paid in cash, then theres nothing he can do, except pay the back support. Many parents pay in cash, but that's never the right thing to do, in cases like this one, because then they have no proof.
In nys are child support payments paid by cash legal?
Whether or not they're legal, they're stupid - you could have a very difficult time down the road, proving that you made those payments. Don't ever give money directly to the obligee (send it to the court, or to the disbursement unit in your state), and don't ever make cash payments!SEE LINK BELOW
Is it legal for a parent paying child support to refuse to pay in cash?
Yes. It is never advisable to pay in cash.
