How long will it take to receive support payments?

That depends a lot on when they’re actually paid. Even if you go through the state registry in Tallahassee, your first support payment might take a few extra weeks because of processing of a new case. However, once the support payments are paid on a regular basis, on time, you should be receiving them in the increment that they’re supposed to be paid at. In other words, every week, twice a month, or however it’s set up. So basically, the short answer to that is you should be receiving them shortly after they’re actually paid.
