Child Support Order / Agreement Language
By including SupportPay in the child support and custody orders, parents agree or are ordered ahead of time to use SupportPay to manage all child support, alimony, expenses, payments, reimbursements, custody, parenting plans and communications.
SupportPay allows for a seamless, automated, and transparent way for parents to manage their orders, dispute items, track custody and parenting time, and communicate efficiently.
The use of SupportPay provides transparency for all parties, dramatically reducing conflicts and making it easier to manage child support and custody orders after they are issued.
If you would like to include the requirement to use SupportPay in your order or agreement, you can use the following suggested language.

Each party is ordered to use SupportPay for the management of all child support payments, expenses/reimbursements, custody schedules, parenting plans, and communications between the parties. All support payments shall be recorded in the app. All requests for reimbursement of court-ordered or agreed additional expenses shall be made via SupportPay. The reimbursing parent shall, within 30 days of notification from SupportPay, either make the requested payment or utilize the dispute process provided by SupportPay. Should either party request a determination of child support arrears, the parties’ SupportPay history shall be deemed admissible evidence and shall be used by the Court in determining each party’s compliance with the order(s) regarding payment of support and additional child expenses.
