What are the available payment methods for child support?

The County of San Diego Department of Child Support Services offers multiple payment methods for child support. Parents can choose to make payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT), where funds are automatically deducted from their bank account. Another option is using a credit or debit card for online payments through the department's secure website or by phone. In-person payments can be made at local child support offices using cash, check, money order, or a credit/debit card. Additionally, parents can opt for the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) to receive and disburse child support payments electronically. This provides a convenient and efficient way to ensure timely and accurate payments. With a variety of payment options available, the department aims to accommodate parents' preferences and provide flexibility in meeting their child support obligations.
