How can you prove payment withou a court order Such as child support?

Answer 1

The proper way to prove payment of any debt is either a cancelled check with the words "child support" in the memo portion of the check OR a receipt signed by the recipient of the payment that shows the amount and date. If you are using a receipt, it would be helpful to have a witness also sign or have it notarized. This forestalls the argument that the receipt was forged. Alternatively, you can create a bank account. You may deposit money into the account, and keep your deposit slips marked "child support". The only person authorized to withdraw money from this account is the parent who is to receive the support. A court order would not prove payment. It would only prove the fact that you were required to pay child support and the amount you were required to pay. Following the order, some states may require the amount due is paid to a clearing house of some sort and then there would be proof.
