Paying Your Child Support

Why is it important to pay child support?

Children who have a good relationship with you are more likely to be a great student, have a higher level of self-confidence, and have a better chance to succeed in life.

How do I make my child support payments?

For your convenience there are several methods of paying your child support

  • Income Withholding

Most child support orders require that child support be deducted from your paycheck. This is one of the easiest methods of paying support. Your employer will send your support to the Illinois State Disbursement Unit.

  • Travelers, cashiers or personal checks
  • Money order
  • Mail payments to: State Disbursement Unit

P.O. Box 5400
