We serve Florida’s families by helping children receive the support they deserve.
We continually review and improve our services to help parents support their children.
Parents: Any parent or other person who cares for a child may ask for child support services. Parents or caregivers who receive public assistance through the Department of Children and Families are automatically referred to us for child support services.
Parents who are required to pay child support: Parents can also ask for our help in arranging a convenient way to pay child support.
Possible fathers: A man who has been identified as a possible father can ask for a paternity test to find out if he is the father of the child.
We provide child support services to families in all but two Florida counties:
We rely on the help of many private partners and government agencies. The federal government, Florida’s courts, local law enforcement, financial institutions, employers, and a host of state agencies all play a part in getting child support payments to Florida’s children.
