Last Review Date of Your Court Case

The header of the Case Summary screen displays information about your court caseThe court action(s) related to your divorce, support order, paternity judgment, or modified support order. Each court case is assigned a number. The court case becomes the foundation for any further actions taken to establish and/or enforce support, legally identify the child's father, and assign responsibility for costs associated with paternity and support.. The Last Review Date indicates the last time either the child support agency or the court reviewed your court orderA legal document, issued by the court, setting the amount to be paid for the support of a child, or establishing the legal fatherhood (paternity) of a child., either at the request of one of the parties, or because the order was due for review under federal case-review requirements. This field only applies to cases that are receiving case-management services from the local child support agency.

A review is the process of checking a child support order to see if it needs updating. The review looks at two issues:

1. Does the dollar amount in the child support order follow the guidelines in the Child Support Percentage of Income Standard?
   
2. Does the order include medical support?
