How do I cash my child support money order if I have no bank account in South Carolina?

Question

I received my child support in the mail as we have recently moved here to SC from Michigan and I cant find ANYONE who will cash it! Any ideas short of going to get a bank account?

Answer 1

What's wrong with getting a bank account? Or do you plan to cash every child support check you get and then walk around with all that cash in your wallet all the time?

Take the check you have and open an account with it. Leave the money in the bank until you need it. That's what you're *supposed* to do with money.

Answer 2

Is it a postal money order? Take it to the post office.

Answer 3

grocery stores usually cash checks especially if they are from a known source. they charge you a couple dollars though.
