How are the child support payments distributed if the non-custodial parent on the file has more than one obligation?
Distribution is a federally prescribed formula for determining how to apply payments to the various support accounts. Distribution rules require current child support owed be paid first. If the non-custodial parent has more than one case, and has paid less than the current support owed the system will look at all the non-custodial parent’s open cases and allocate the payment among the cases proportionally.
