This office is part of a Federal, State and Local effort to collect child support from legally responsible parents. You DO NOT have to be receiving Assistance in order to file for support for your child. If you do not currently receive assistance, you may file an application at your local Child Support Office.
Most services are free.
If it is requested that you pay a lawyer, the expense incurred by you will be taken out of the child support once support payments begin to pay. Last known address of absent parent.
