Let’s be real for a minute, not everyone who gets pregnant is happily married and expecting a child. And when the situation does happen there is a different set of responsibilities and obligations that must be met. That is why SupportPay is the App of the Week.

Child support is serious business. The laws have changed drastically making it extremely difficult to avoid paying child support and extremely painful if you try. Taking your parental financial responsibility seriously and meeting the needs of the child is the best option.

SupportPay is an app that brings automation and record keeping to the child support payment process. The app allows both parents to keep track of and automate child rearing expenses in accordance with the a court order. SupportPay offers the following features;

• Receive expenses from the other parent, review the receipts and easily pay your portion of the expense or dispute the expense.
• Automate payments for re-occurring and incremental expenses.
• Setup automatic payments or schedule payments in the future.
• Make payments to anyone.
• Tracking payment status.
• Receive automatic updates based on your preferences.

The app also allows the parents to record expenses, attach the receipt and send the report to the other parent. The receiving parent can review the expense report and approve the payment right from their smartphone. There is a privacy function to the payment method allowing the parents to use PayPal to send payments thus protecting their financial information.
