If you are someone who pays money under the child support system, or if you work for such a person, you generally cannot be found guilty of breaking the rules about child support payments. However, there is one exception to this rule. You can still be found guilty if you try to stop or get in the way of deducting money for child support payments. This rule applies to both the person who is supposed to make the payments and anyone who works for them.
