The South Carolina Order to Pay Support through Court is a court-ordered process for collecting child support payments. The process is initiated by either the custodial parent or the Department of Social Services. The court will issue an Order to Pay Support through Court, which requires the non-custodial parent to make regular payments to the court, which will then distribute the funds to the custodial parent. In some cases, the Order may also include an order for the non-custodial parent to pay arrears, or past due child support payments. There are two types of South Carolina Order to Pay Support through Court: an Administrative Order to Pay Support through Court and a Judicial Order to Pay Support through Court. An Administrative Order is issued by the Department of Social Services, while a Judicial Order is issued by a family court judge. Both types of orders require the non-custodial parent to make regular payments to the court, and both types of orders may include an order for the non-custodial parent to pay past due child support payments.
