• •A 'deposit holder' is a person or office chosen by the court to keep money safe.
• •This money is used to make sure future support payments (like child support) are paid.
• •The deposit holder can be a district attorney, a county officer, or a trustee.

A parent is ordered by the court to pay child support but has a history of not paying on time.

The court might order this parent to give money to a 'deposit holder' (like the district attorney) who will keep it safe and use it to make the child support payments on time.
