Just because the parties settle, doesn't mean the insurance company is ready to pay, that all of the doctors have been paid, liens cleared, etc. sometimes it take a longer period of time after the case is marked "settled" than you would think it should take for you to get the money. Stay in touch with the personal injury lawyer. Put it is writing that he or she has to pay off the child support before the payment is made.
