Who Benefits From This Program
If you have not filed for child support and do not currently have a child support order issued by a child support agency, our Filing Program is for you.
Why Should You File?
You don’t have to struggle to care for your children. Instead, file for child support. Child support is structured for custodial parents, like you, to retain your dignity, instead of being at the mercy of the non-custodial parent for money. When you don’t file for child support, you are essentially allowing the noncustodial parent to financially neglect your children.
When you are unable to provide the financial support your children need and don’t take the necessary steps to demand the noncustodial parent to assist financially, you are depriving your children of the support they deserve.
Child Support Calculator
The Child Support Calculator is specific to your state and the amount estimated is based on your inputed information.
State Filing Locations
Each state has a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services office that provides custodial and noncustodial parents with resources to file for child support and to receive a child support order.
Filing A Child Support Order
A child support order is a document from a court that states when, how often, and how much a parent must pay for child support.
This order provides the structure and security you need to know your child will be taken care of and it protects the best interest of your child.
Each state has different guidelines but some of the considerations that might go into a child support order include:
- CHILD CARE
- MEDICAL
- EDUCATION
- SPECIAL NEEDS
