For those who have to pay child support or something else, have you ever paid in pennies?

Fuck that's a stupid idea. Never pay child support in cash.

Watch this:

Her: "Judge, he neglected to pay me August's child support."

Judge: "Do you have proof that you paid? Do you have a copy of the check from your bank?"

Man: "No, I paid in cash. Pennies in fact."

Judge: "Since there's no record of you paying, you owe for August's child support plus interest."

Quick way to get suckered.

And if yes, how long did it take to get all the pennies? I imagine it's not a small number.

Yeah, No. Never pay cash. She can just claim she never got it and you've no defense.

Don't give it in the form of clothes/shoes/supplies for the child either. I know this sounds better than giving her money that she might not even spend on the child, but all she has to do is claim you promised to buy those things on top of child support and, again, you have no defense.

Agree an amount between you and get her to sign something that states you'll pay that amount each month. (Or the amount that the court tells you if it's gone that far).

Set up a standing order into her bank for the first of every month clearly labeled Child Support or Child Maintenance or whatever it's called in your country. Keep records of all your bank statements to prove you've paid it.

Never buy items for the child that won't stay in your home (Assuming you have joint custody) and never use those purchases as leverage to reduce your Child support obligation.

Actually, through my travels I've heard many countries have laws against this... so did a little googling.

It may be the case that in the USA it is legal, though other legal tools may be used to persuade you to behave more reasonably (e.g. get held in contempt of court): https://cashmoneylife.com/paying-debts-with-legal-tender/

Australia is an example of one country where the laws dictate limits on what is an acceptable payment amount for coins: https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2017/02/what-are-the-maximum-number-of-coins-you-can-legally-pay-with/

EDIT: it's a pretty passive-aggressive thing to do though, more what I'd expect from a woman? :)

2-3 years ago i met a guy on a mens fb chat group who were going through all this shit. This guy was in his early to mid 40s and paying alimony to his wife. He used to spit on the bundle of money before handing it over to her. Of course she still accepted it that way.

Besides he had a rough time since he had to attend divorce proceedings and cases here in India take a lot of time to resolve. What he did was started hooking up with women who came there for divorce proceedings as well. All he had to do was show fake sympathy towards these whores and they usually ended up having a one time date and fucking each other. No commitments no nothing just a one time fling.
