Federal law requires each state to operate a centralized collection and disbursement unit for the convenience of employers who are withholding child support payments for their employees. The Maine Child Support Clearinghouse, located in Augusta, will process payments you withhold for all Maine child support orders. Other states may ask you to send their payments directly to their centralized payment processing unit.
