So I am toying with asking the courts to administer the spousal support. I just have a feeling TJ might follow MLC rules and play games with all sorts of payments.
Holly, When my X and I were working with the mediator hammering out our agreement he asked her if he would be able to just cut me a check every month. She told him that would depend on whether I trusted him to do so without any problems. She then looked at me and asked me if I trusted him to that degree. With a shake of my head I clearly said "no, I do not." She turned back to him and told him he had his answer. My support is directly deposited into my checking account each month and I don't have to wonder what he will pull as the beginning of each month rolls around.
Do what you have to do to protect yourself. Knowing you don't have to deal with jacka$$ery each month is well worth getting the order for a direct deposit through the system.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
