Case Management Services

Applying for Services

Parents and legal guardians may apply for full case management (child support) services. If one parent applies, both parents receive case management services. However if the court changes the child's primary placement, the parent with the new primary placement order will need to reapply for services.

To apply for services:

Federal regulations require child support agencies to provide all services that are proper for a case. A parent or guardian may not choose limited services except for the "parent locate-only services" option. A $25 fee applies.

Families in many aid/benefit programs automatically get case management services and do not have to apply for services.
