I suggest that you work with the attorney who handled your child support case. If that is not possible (due to expense, can’t locate lawyer, etc.), you can contact WA Division of Child Support. They should be able to help you:

Call the local office of the Division of Child Support, they can help you initiate an admin. process to transfer the payments to the person caring for the child. you would need a temp. order giving the relatives temp. custody.

Doing the administrative process is a good idea, but may result in ex wanting child back. May discuss with ex and agree in writing to send to 3rd parties. However, if payments have to go through state, you wioll need ex to take off state pay or d administratively.

you need to get the order modified so you can pay child support to your relative. don't do it on your own, without modifying the order, because you won't get credit for it.
