Fill out an Application for Child Support Services and return the form to your county CSEA by mail or in person. The CSEA will work with you to take any steps necessary to get your account set up including finding the other parent, establishing paternity, and creating the order.
Payments can be deposited directly into your financial account or to a prepaid debit card. You can enroll in direct deposit one of two ways: Go to Print, complete, and return a paper application available by clicking here.
Other federal and state authorities can also issue their own attachment documents and send them to your bank to freeze your accounts for unpaid obligations, such as child support.
If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
The Guidelines set a minimum child support amount of $91.00 per child per month.
