How Do Self-Employed People Pay Child Support?

While most child support payments are deducted from the obligated person’s paycheck, when a person is self-employed and doesn’t receive a regular paycheck, they will instead receive payment coupons which tell them how much is owed and where to mail it.

Each county has its own mailing address, so if you’re making the switch from traditional employment to self-employment, you should notify Family Court or your county support office immediately so your payments continue to be made on time.

These days, self-employment is an option for a huge number of people in New York, but building a small business or home based business means that a lot of matters that used to be handled by HR, like insurance, child support, tax withholding, and more, now fall on your plate.

Major changes like shifting your career to a self-employed status require lots of planning. Don’t forget to plan for how you’ll handle your support obligations.
