since it's set up to be taken out of checks you probably will have this amount taken out of the 3rd check, contact payroll dept. ASAP!

If you pay a set amout monthly, you have paid. If you pay every pay period, it will be deducted from the 3rd check.

ok, so your saying they shouldn't be able to take the amount out of my 3rd check??? please let this be true LOL

Every year has 4 months with 5 paydays. So you will go thru this 4 times a year. Get to the bottom of this is my advice.

Thanks everyone for your input, I have emailed our payroll department and hope to have answers soon. thanks

It depends on how it was set up. My ex pays every 2 weeks. not monthly. Maybe it is in your Divorce papers??

If you get 26 checks a year, then the amount should be annually divided to come out of each check, no?

mine is set up monthly--- so If she gets the amount out of the 1st 2 checks why should she get teh amount out of the 3 rd check?? confused but checking into with payroll where I work!! thanks everyone

Larry..not sure if you were asking me. yes..it was divided annually. If he paid once a month the ammount would have been more. I set it up that way because I make my house payment every 2 weeks. Still paying for our "dreamhouse"..yuk.

If you are 100% sure that they always take out 1/2 of the monthly child support in your first check and 1/2 of the monthly child support in your second check then I don't see why they would need to take anything out of the extra check. However, it's possible they were just given an order that stated what the yearly total was. They then probably just divided that total by 26 so that you will have to pay child support out of all your checks, even the extra ones.

The answer to your question is, more than likely, yes...they will still withhold a payment from the third check in November. In most cases child support payments are figured on the number of weeks in the year not the months. For example, if you pay 500.00 a month in support, take that multiply by 12 months and divide by 52 weeks. Your payroll/HR dept., in cooperation with child support enforcement will take it from there. This may not be the case in all states and jurisdictions, but I was told that it is pretty much standard everywhere. There have been a few times that I received a check back from the state for overpayment of child support. Usually after the first of the year. Contact your payroll/HR dept. or your local child support enforcement office to be sure.

I meant to add in the beginning that yes, Belzar pretty much hit the nail right on the head....lol

Look at your court order if it says you need to pay a certain amount per month the once that comes out they should not take any more out. I only get paid two times a month and that would never happen. The court order reads to the effect that I have to pay x amount of dollars per month and half of that amount comes out of each check, once that amount is reached that is it.

Thanks for everyones replies, I talked with payroll this morning. Great news, NO child support will be taken out of my next check. The way mine is set up. I pay per month and when that total is reached the extra check is all mine!!! That is sweet!! thanks again everyone!!!

call your local department of revenue (if that is who deducts the support.

bi-monthly work well for people who get 24 checks a year. If you get 26 (every two weeks) you should not have $$$ deducted for those xtra 2 checks.
