"Non-conforming payments shall not be credited as child support"

IOW - direct payment to the custodial parent is a gift, unless she signs a
notarized affidavit of arrears with a zero balance on it and the ordering
court accepts it.

Good luck.


Each state has its own way of doing things, but in Ohio any money given
directly to the mother or child is considered a gift, and does not count
towards the court ordered child support. In Ohio they do not care what
arrangements you have with the mother. If is not done thru them then it has
no merit, even if the mother says otherwise. Fathers in Ohio have to
basicly take it up the ass and smile.
