it's called receipts, receipts, receipts.

never pay the support in cash. also pay with a money order or a check and mark it as child support in the memo section. that way you have papers or receipts for the payment.

if his employer is holding out of his check, as them if they can give you a print out of their money they have held out and the dates the payments were made. most will pay with a company check, so maybe you can get a copy of the check as well.
