If you appeared before a judge due to failure to pay your child support and were ordered to pay a specific amount (sometimes referred to as a purge payment), you may come to the payment window in the Clerk of Court Office, and use cash or a money order to pay the ordered amount to be in compliance with the judgeâs ruling.
Note: Support payments in South Carolina terminate when a child turns 18 or graduates high school, whichever is later.
