If you are the obligee, (the party ordered to receive support payments), you may have the support payments sent directly to your bank account. This process eliminates the possibility of checks being lost in the mail. The form for Authorization for Direct Deposit is available at the Clerk's Office(click here for a listing of local Clerks of Court), from the Clerk's Office eForms On Demand , or by clicking here.

If you no longer wish to participate in direct deposit, the form for Authorization to Stop Direct Deposit is available by clicking here. This is a PDF form. You may mail the completed forms to the Clerk of Superior Court, 201 W. Jefferson, Family Support Finance, 1st Floor, Phoenix, AZ. 85003.

If you are the obligor, (the party ordered to make support payments), and are not subject to an Income Withholding Order, you may have the support payments taken directly from your bank account and deposited into the Support Payment Clearinghouse's bank account. If in the future you become subject to an Income Withholding Order you must inform the Clearinghouse. This process ensures timely support payments and eliminates the possibility of checks being lost in the mail.
