The law requires that child support payments be made to the Department of Revenue (DOR) Child Support Enforcement Division. The DOR then sends the child support to you. The law also requires that child support be paid by the obligor's employer from the obligor's paycheck. This is called income assignment. When you get a child support order at the Probate and Family Court, you fill out and turn in a DOR Child Support Enforcement Services Application Form to the DOR office at the court.
The Department of Revenue (DOR) Child Support Enforcement website has a brochure called Parents Who Receive Child Support.
You can read this leaflet if you have the free program, Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
