am i doing anything wrong

LOL I think that is the funniest thing I have ever heard. A girlfriend of mine has to pay child support to her ex-husband (they have 3 kids). He is extremely well off and she lives on a clerical salary. Basically, he doesn't need the money, he just makes her pay it because he can. I am going to suggest that she do the same thing!!

It is not illegal, but you are being immature.
What is wrong with you that you cannot go to the bank and get normal bills? Or you don't have a check that you could write out?
This woman is the mother of your child - why are you makng this more difficult for her? She is trying to raise YOUR child and you are making her count and go through all this change? That is ridiculous.
Despite what her behavior to you may have been in the past or even now, keep in mind, this is for your CHILD. Don't let what you think of the mother keep you from being a decent and good, supportive father to your child.
Start acting like an adult and start being a more responsible and worthwhile human being.

You're being very foolish.
She's going to the judge anyway; how much extra work would it be for her to say "Can you increase the amount to $300?"
Even if she doesn't, the Judge can decide to do that on his own, without request, and if he happens to not like you being a smartass, that's exactly what he's going to do. Most judges don't like a smartass.
Another point is that you will someday need canceled checks to prove you made the payments. If she wants to claim that you never made any payments at all, it will be up to you to prove that you did, by producing canceled checks.
You need to grow up and just send her a check each month and be done with it. How would you like her to just collect those pennies each month in a huge trunk, and someday present them to your child and say "This is what your father paid in child support."? Don't you think that child might think to themself "sheesh. Dad's a jerk."

Sounds like you've got an axe to grind, she must have caused you some amount of pain ( let it go and put it down to experience ), but seriously I wouldn't worry if I were you since you are paying regardless if it's in paper money or coins, any judge with a sense of humor will see the funny side of your actions, however, you will probably be ordered to stop since it is petty. Good Luck!
way to go momatad,,,,, LMAO

You will need to at least identify your state. Each state has a definition of how much coin can be considered legal tender. I recall some time ago when someone tried to pay the IRS in coin but don't remember the amount. He lost in court.

Depends on the judge, and his view on the case. If it is not delineated on the support order how it is to be paid, you can expound on that, but as long as it is legal tender, it should be acceptable. Sometimes you will get a judge who does have a sense of humor, and if the case had dragged on, and the mother is hostile to the father seeing/being with the child, he could very easily rule that it is okay to do so. Here's a hint, throw her off one month and pay in large coin (50 cent or dollar coins) or in dollar bills (with a receipt kept, of course). She can't complain that she isn't getting the support nor can she complain you 'always' give it to her in pennies and nickels.

You're not doing anything illegal, but a judge will probably tell you to GROW UP. Your child is your responsibility no matter how you feel about your ex. The two of you need to work together to raise your child together. You have to think about what kind of example you want to set for your child.
GROW UP!!!!!!!! YOu made a child, now man up and do the right thing.

I understand why some people are saying this is childish.. it is, but at the same time funny. We dont know what the woman could have possibly put you through in your history with her. It's very petty of you to do this, but also very petty for her to complain to the judge about it! I don't think the judge will punish you for it, probably be more upset that the mother of your child actually brought you back to court over it!

Well, you are paying in legal tender.
But you are also being an a** and it would NOT look good if your wife were to take you back to court to remove or limit your visitation, as you child is probably more mature than you.

Are you serious? What type of work do you do that you have to give it in coins? It'll still spend. I hope you arent doing this just to be an as@hole to her. Why not take it to the bank and get it in a cashiers check or money order. Since you are giving it to her directly its better to have a record and receipts. Why is your case not through the local Atty Gen's office. If it were then she would get it direct deposited or in the form of a check. Hope this helps.
