Court Orders

Case Management Services

Help with your court order

If you get case management services from your local child support agency:

  • your child support agency will ask the court for an order for child support and medical support
  • your child support agency will monitor and enforce court orders for support and medical support
  • your child support agency will help, when asked, with the review of your order for a needed change. Reviews are offered every three years and may also be done after a substantial change.
  • your child support agency will help with asking the court to change an order if the review shows a change is needed.
  • your child support agency's attorney will handle legal issues connected with obtaining and enforcing a child support order. However:

    • This service does not include giving parents legal advice.
    • The child support attorney does not represent either parent. The attorney who appears at your court hearing is there to represent the interests of the state.
    • There is no attorney-client relationship between parents and child support attorneys.
