Your ex can pay you directly if that is an arrangement that you both can live with. Before you make that decision, consider that if payments are made by wage withholding you will have a clear payment record through the CSE (Child Support Enforcement) agency (Child Support Enforcement) office, payments will be delayed by the mail, and you avoid the possibility of money falling into arrears by a payee who does not pay because wage withholdings are automatic. As long as the obligor keeps their job, you will receive child support. Having a wage withholding is beneficial for the payer as well due to some reports of payees not reporting the actual amount of support received.
