Highlight In Legal Michigan Child Support Forms For Free

In Michigan, the amount of child support is determined using the guidelines established by the Supreme Court. Child support guidelines are based on the monthly net income of both parents and the time the child spends with each parent.

All Child Support payments are processed through the Michigan State Disbursement Unit, (MiSDU). When a payment is made with correct information included with it, (docket numbers and SSN), it will be applied to the appropriate case(s) within 3 to 5 business days.

You may apply online with MiChildSupport, or you may print, complete and mail the IV-D Child Support Services Application/Referral - DHS-1201 form. If you or your children have never received public assistance and you do not already have a case open, you can apply for child support services.

Statutory Service Fees Michigan law requires the FOC to charge the support payer a service fee, currently $3.50 per month. Federal law requires the FOC to charge the support payer a federal service fee, currently $25 per fiscal year.

It does not matter whether the support is behind or not: withholding is automatic without regard to whether an arrearage exists. The support amount is taken directly from a payer's check in a manner similar to income tax and social security payments.
