In Alabama you send your money to the state. They send the money to ex-spouse. If you don’t send the money the state immediately does....nothing. If the custodial parent calls them they will tell them to get a lawyer. I cannot figure out their purpose except a make work program of state workers.
Same in wi. Only there is a delay of bureaucratic processing time before the ex spouse receives the payment. Totally because of the state bureaucrats.
The state hopes by doing so to increase whatever animosity exists between the two ex spouses. Furthering family court time and thereby enriching the family court system.
