text: I am assuming that you need to deposit your ex's support payments directly into his/her account.\n\nGo to the bank where the account is held and tell them you have a court order stating you must deposit the funds (you do, don't you?).  They will get the paperwork you need then you and then your ex will have to sign it, probably in a bank officer's presence.\n\nIf you are transfering money from your bank to a completely different bank, you need to go to your bank first and find out how to transfer the funds electronically without incurring any Wire Transfer fees (which can be as high as $50 per transaction).\n\nIt may be easier to just go to the ex's bank and get a bunch of blank deposit slips.  Fill in his/her name address and account number and then either mail them, deposit as normal, or use the night depository.\n\nGood luck, support sucks.
