QUESTION
Is it legal for me to sign a check for my fiance child support?
Asked on Feb 28th, 2014 on Child Custody - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
My fiance's ex-wife is displeased that I write the check for the child support that he provides for his kids. We have a joint bank account and I manage our finances. Is there any risk for me signing the checks instead of him?

It is legal for you to sign the check. There is no risk to you for doing so. While it appears that she is displeased with her ex-husband's non-involvement in paying the support for his children, she is receiving the support and should not care how it gets from him to her.

No, she is getting the money, that is all that matters.

No, it doesn't matter who writes the check or signs the check. It only matters that the child support is being paid.

If you have a joint account that would probably be fine.

As long as he pays she has nothing to complain about. Who writes the check is not an issue.
