It is a myth that parents who get along can safely handle child support through informal payments. Cash or items such as diapers may be treated as gifts, and a parent could still be ordered to pay up to four years of retroactive support.

A formal court order documents payments, sets out both parents’ rights and responsibilities—including the child’s time with each parent—and can help prevent later disputes. Either parent can open a child-support case with the Office of the Attorney General.
