There are child support services offices in each state which help custodial parents in many different situations. Child support services offices can help custodial parents establish paternity of their children, find and contact the non-custodial parents of the children in order to establish a court-ordered child support payment amount and schedule, establish a payment plan for the medical care of the child, and more. Child support services can help custodial parents realize their rights and options under the child support laws in their states. Individuals involved in a battle for custody or for child support payments should consider hiring an attorney who is knowledgeable in family law. An attorney who knows the laws can help one determine the best steps to take in order to obtain custody or the money that the children deserve from their non-custodial parents. To contact the child support services in each state, individuals should contact the Department of Human Services.
