It’s likely a fee to cover garnishment process. If the father pays on time, garnishing isn’t required and there would be no charges for that administrative work.

Im curious about this because i know some people prefer the automatic payment, is this different from garnishing?

There's no difference. I requested to have it garnished because I was losing work weekly to go down and pay in person

Yes and even more so when the mother receives state benefits

If the custodial parent receives any type of state benefits, the order often includes making the state "whole". At this stage theres no profit its just paying it back. Down the line there may be interest and enforcement and some profit.
