The Division of Child Support helps parents establish a financial partnership to support their children when they do not live together.

Services through the Division of Child Support are available to any adult who has legal custody of a minor child. Services are also available to fathers who need help establishing paternity.

Those who receive public assistance (TANF, Medicaid, Title IV-E foster care) and are the custodian or guardian of a minor child whose parent(s) does not live in their home are automatically referred for child support services.

Child Support Specialists provide assistance in the following ways:

• Locating noncustodial parents
• Establishing paternity
• Establishing or modifying child support and medical support orders
• Enforcing support orders.
• Collecting and processing support payments
