Based on your Income Deduction Order, your employer must initiate payment within 15 business days after the employer received the Notice to Payor. You are responsible for any payments that come due prior to income deduction. Do I have to pay a fee to the Clerk & Comptroller with each payment? You will have to pay a Clerk & Comptroller fee with each payment if your child support is paid to the Clerk & Comptroller per court order. The fee is four percent (4%) of the payment, or a minimum of $1.00 or a maximum of $5.25. Private cases, or cases that do not involve the Department of Revenue, will pay this fee. Other fees may be applicable if the child support account becomes delinquent. Who will maintain the records and payment history for my case? The Clerk & Comptroller
