Receiving Child Support
Check
Custodial parents will receive their first child support payment by mail in the form of a check.
After the first payment is sent, a debit card will be mailed to the custodial parent. Once the debit card is received, the custodial parent should call the phone number on the back of the card to activate it. Once activated, child support payments will be applied to the custodial parent’s debit card account.
Debit Card
The Tennessee Way2Go Card, which is a MasterCard Debit Card, is issued to custodial parents to access their child support payments. This process provides the custodial parent a safe, convenient and secure way to receive child support payments.

Judicial practice
collection of court decisions for 2020: Article 113 "Determination of alimony arrears " SK RF
(R.B. Kasenov) The court refused to satisfy the claims of the plaintiff - the recoverer of alimony for a minor child in enforcement proceedings to recognize as illegal the inaction of the bailiff, expressed in the refusal to calculate the debt on alimony; on the obligation of the bailiff-performer to calculate the debt.
At the same time, the court recognized the conclusions of the trial court that the provisions of paragraph 2 of Art. 113 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation are of a general nature in relation to paragraph 1, since the fault of the alimony non-payer is presumed, therefore it is necessary to calculate the debt for the entire period from the moment the alimony is collected. As the court pointed out, as a general rule, the recovery of alimony for the past period is carried out within the three-year period preceding the presentation of the writ of execution for recovery. Alimony for the past period may be recovered within a three-year period from the date of applying to the court, if the court establishes that prior to applying to the court, measures were taken to obtain funds for maintenance, but the alimony was not received due to the evasion of the person obliged to pay alimony from their payment . In the case under consideration, there is no evidence in the case file confirming that the debtor evaded the payment of alimony.
These circumstances indicate that there are no grounds for recognizing as illegal the inaction of the bailiff in terms of calculating the debt.
