Benefits of Paying Child Support Through Cent
By law divorced and separated co-parents have to share children's expenses that are not covered by court-ordered child support payments. Cent eliminates the need for manually managing receipts for expenses such as dental and medical bills, requests for additional child support payments, and record-keeping of those payments. The manual management of child support payments can cause several issues, such as:
Misunderstandings - Miscommunication about the expenses and split agreements occur when they are made verbally. Who is going to pay for what can be left for interpretation thus causing misunderstandings.
Delays - Manual transmission of bills related to children's expenses and payments can be lost or cause a delay in payment. In case of a recurring expense such as a monthly tutoring bill, a delay can cause your child to miss out.
Lack of Accountability - Since there is no documentation of expense reimbursement requests, a co-parent can easily refuse to pay their share.
Misallocation of Funds - Similarly, if payments are made manually with cash or a check the other party can refuse to recognize them as the payments for the intended expense.
Legal Actions - If the relationship between you and your co-parent is not very amicable, the dispute over children's expenses can easily end up in court costing both parties thousands of dollars.
Negative Effect on Children - It also leaves a bad impression on children that their parents cannot manage their finances.
