Abstract:
Systems and methods for enabling a non-custodial parent to purchase goods and service directly from merchants for a child while getting acknowledgement and consideration under a child support program for the purchased goods and services from the merchant. The method includes receiving an obligation file from an entity associated with a child support case. The obligation file includes information related to obligation agreement and obligation amount between a custodial parent and the non-custodial parent of the child. A unique ID is generated for both the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent, and a common account is created for both the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent with a merchant using the unique ID. The method facilitates delivery of an item or service to the custodial parent, via the merchant using the common account, and payment of the item or service is performed by the non-custodial parent using the common account.
