APPLY ONLINE

Easy, secure, and no-cost. Either parent or legal guardian can apply and open a case.

CASE PROCESS

Time it takes to get an order depends on whether the absent parent needs to be located or if there is an existing court order.

GETTING AN ORDER

If both parents can agree on an amount, they may be able to avoid going to court by filing a stipulated agreement.

PAYMENTS

After an order is set, payments are scheduled to begin, usually by payroll deduction.
