Child Support Services
Every child has the right to financial and medical support from both parents. Our goal is to assure families receive the child support they need and deserve.
The services we provide include locating parents, establishing paternity, and establishing, enforcing and modifying support orders. Our services are available if a parent lives in another state or country. We do not establish or enforce visitation or custody.
