My court order states the noncustodial parent is to make payments on the first of the month. Why does OCSE give the noncustodial parent the entire month to pay?
The majority of child support is paid through wage withholding. The employer is required to withhold child support based on its payroll periods, which may be weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly. The employer should prorate the monthly obligation and withhold an appropriate amount from each paycheck. Payments are to be forwarded by the employer to the AR Child Support Clearinghouse the date the employee is paid.
