The Preauthorized Payment Application for Payors authorizes the Family Responsibility Office to automatically deduct support payments from the support payor's bank account. This method of payment is only available to payors who do not have a regular source of income that makes support deductions on their behalf (e.g., an employer).

The alternative payment order allows a support payor to pay by another method rather than by automatic income deductions under a support deduction order. If you are asking the court to make an alternative payment order, complete the appropriate sections of this form prior to your court date. If you or the support recipient has a lawyer, the lawyer will complete the rest of the form based on what the judge orders. If neither of you has a lawyer, provide the form to the court clerk.
