Payment should be made payable to the Department of Health and Welfare and sent to Idaho Child Support Receipting, P.O. Box 70008, Boise, ID 83707-0108. Notice The court is required to order income withholding in all child support orders. Income withholding is enforced by a withholding order issued to the paying parent222s employer without additional notice to the paying parent, according to Idaho Code Section 32-1204. The support order can also be enforced by license suspension or the filing of a lien upon all real and personal property of the paying parent. d. Multiple Children. (if applicable) We have more than one minor child. If this child support judgment has not been modified, when one child is no longer entitled to support, basic child support for the remaining child/ren should continue and will be paid as described in the Continued Support Worksheet attached as Schedule B. e. Extended Visits. (if applicable) Our child/ren live/s in the home of one parent at least 75% of the time. (If selected, check the boxes below that apply. Otherwise, go to the next section.) When the parent paying child support has physical custody of the child/ren for 14 or more overnights in a row, the amount of basic child support should be reduced for that period of time. However, visitation of two overnights or less with the other parent should not eliminate the reduction of basic child support during extended visits. The child support reduction for the period of the actual physical custody should be 50% or (other percentage) % of the basic child support obligation. The reduction should be subtracted from the child support payment due the month following the extended visit. If the parent paying child support has physical custody of some but not all of the children for a period of 14 overnights in a row, before a reduction is made, the basic child support obligation should first be divided by the number of children under eighteen (18) years of age. The parent who pays child support can only claim a reduction for the child/ren in that parent222s custody. For Example227Parent has 3 of 4 children for 14 overnights. $300/mo. b
