Filing For Child Support

Filing for child support can be done in several ways. Individuals can hire an attorney to help them file in order to obtain custody payments from non-custodial parents. The attorneys can also provide important information such as the individuals' rights and options under child support laws. Custodial parents have another source of help in the Office of Child Support Enforcement. This office is available in all states and can be contacted through the Department of Human Services in the local area. The Office of Child Support Enforcement can help custodial parents establish paternity, obtain a court order for child support, and can enforce the order through several methods. The Office of Child Support Enforcement can issue an arrest warrant for non-compliant non-custodial parents, suspend their driver's licenses, seize their property or winnings, and even garnish their wages. These are all ways in which custodial parents are able to obtain help in filing for child support and getting their children the support they deserve.
