Pay of Child Support Early?
No way I would pay the CS off early. I don't know how many more years you have on how many children and at what age they are, but if the ex sees all that money, she's gonna figure she can hit you for more $$. Or, if you are on civil terms with her, ask her if you pay it all up front if she will sign a waiver for future additional child support...in a lawyers office. You know, CS isn't treated as support for the kids, it's treated as a punishment for breaking up the home, if it wasn't, things would be a lot more fair. If the CS paying parents income increases, the CP gets more money, but if the CS parents income increases, the CS paying parent doesn't get a break...think about it. One good thing....CS doesn't last forever, it will end. My 2nd husband and I paid CS to his ex for 17 + yrs. I didn't think it would ever end, but it did, unfortunately I didn't learn my lesson and married a man with 2 underage children, now ages 14 and 12...what a bonehead lol Good luck! |

: I have roughly 3 years left on child support. Can I pay it off early if I : liquidate some assets? Will the state/county let me? As others have mentioned, it'd be better to not pay it off early. That may demonstrate you have more money and they could increase your support. Additionally, if your circumstances change, you couldn't get the support lowered. I'd suggest a scheduled online payment from your account, much like paying a mortgage bill. I understand that you would like to be rid of it and so would I and I've considered the same but note that we're not dealing with logical thinking institutions when we're dealing with Child Support government institutions. We're dealing with mindless bureaucrats that cannot think out of the box. b. |

We're dealing with mindless bureaucrats that cannot think out of the box. I rarely post to this board... but this is precisely your dilemma. You are not dealing with a financial institution or an entity that would understand that X x Y = Z. My advice is for you to put Z in an interest bearing checking account... and mail X off Y times and enjoy the meager interest. -- BartenderWJT- I Got Half A Lime and I'm Not Afraid To Use it!
