Child support agreements
Lawyers or the judge register the agreement in the Smart Legal Console and it is certified with NOM-151 digital preservation. Everyone sees the same terms, and nobody can quietly change the amounts.
Agreements you can trust. Money that moves when promises are kept.
Set up an agreement, hold the money in escrow —and release it as milestones and invoices are approved.
Example agreement · Held in escrow

Built around the records and rules you already know
The problem
Promises about money are easy to make and easy to forget.A child support amount that changes every month. A contractor paid up front who never finishes the wall. A receipt nobody can find when the SAT asks.Without clear terms and a record everyone can see, trust runs out — and so does the money.
Three use cases
Three ways to keep a promise.
Remittances and construction trusts
Sending money from the US to build or support family in Mexico? Payments are released as the milestones and deliveries agreed with the contractor are approved.
Per diems and work expenses
Link each CFDI (electronic invoice) to its digital preservation certificate. It can help back up your expenses if the SAT, Mexico's tax authority, audits them.
How it works
Three steps from promise to payment.
Write the agreement once.
Amounts, dates and milestones are set down in one place that everyone can see.Nobody has to ask what was agreed — the terms are right there.
The same terms for everyone
No one can say they didn't know the rules.
Hold the money in escrow. Release it when it's earned.
The sender puts the money in escrow. It is released as milestones and invoices are approved.No lost deposits, no paying for work that was never done.
Released only on approval
Every release is tied to an approved milestone or invoice.
Keep a record you can point to.
Every agreement and approval is certified with NOM-151 digital preservation.It gives you a certified record to point to if a claim or an audit ever comes up. It is a record of the terms, not legal advice.
Certified with NOM-151
NOM-151 is Mexico's standard for digitally preserving records.

Example situations
Promises, kept in the open.
Child support
Registered in the Smart Legal Console and certified with NOM-151 digital preservation, so everyone sees the same amounts.
Construction trust
Money is released as each milestone agreed with the contractor is approved.
“I send money every month for my family's house in Oaxaca. Now the contractor is paid when each stage is finished, and I can see the record from the US.”
“The amount and the date are already written down. Neither of us has to argue about what we agreed.”
Per diems
Each CFDI is linked to its digital preservation certificate, to help back up expenses in an SAT audit.
All three
Whatever the promise, the agreement, the money and the proof stay together.
In their words

How do I start?
Tell us about your situation. Together we set up the agreement, add the people involved and decide what money is held in escrow. We start with one conversation about what you agreed.
What does NOM-151 mean?
NOM-151 is Mexico's standard for digitally preserving records. MandoClaro keeps agreements and their approvals as records certified with NOM-151 digital preservation. They help show what was agreed and when. It is a record of the terms, not legal advice.
How does escrow work?
The sender puts the money in escrow, which means it is held rather than spent. It is released as milestones or invoices are approved. If something isn't approved, the money stays held until the people involved sort it out.
Who registers a child support agreement?
Lawyers or the judge register the agreement in the Smart Legal Console. It is then certified with NOM-151 digital preservation, so everyone sees the same terms and nobody can quietly change the amounts.
What are a CFDI and the SAT?
A CFDI is an electronic invoice in Mexico, and the SAT is Mexico's tax authority. MandoClaro links each CFDI to its digital preservation certificate (constancia de conservación digital), which can help back up your expenses if the SAT audits them.
Is this legal advice?
No. MandoClaro keeps clear, certified records of what people agreed. It doesn't promise any legal outcome. For legal questions, talk to a lawyer.
