Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My husband have joint custody of our granddaughter with her parents (our son and exdaughter-in-law) We are the managing conservators. Recently when they divorced the judge ordered each of them to child support beginning Sept 2010. The divorce was final lat 2009. My question is does the actual court order (I can't find my copy) state where they are to pay the child support to and do we receive it from the State or a local registry. How do they know where to pay it to or are thye allowed to pay us directly?

99% of the time, child support is payable through the State Disbursement Unit in San Antonio; the SDU forwards the money to the actual payee. The order itself will spell out all of this.
