Court Case Summary

What Is All This Information?

This screen summarizes the information included in your divorce and/or paternity case, and any court orders you have for child support and family support. This is a record of the information in KIDS about your child support case(s). If you have more than one court case, you may view the record for each case separately by selecting the case from the Select a Court Case list.

Current Court Case Information

For each court case, you might have one or more KIDS cases. Each KIDS case is assigned a unique case number (sometimes called the "IV-D case number"), which appears in the Case Number column. For each KIDS case, this section will also list:

• the case type (e.g., Medicaid Only, or Child Support Services),
• the case status (e.g., Monitor Order, or Locate)
• whether the KIDS case is open or closed

Related Court Case Information

This section lists the court case:

• payer's name (first, middle, last)
• payee(s) name(s) (first, middle, last)
• last-review date (when the court order was last reviewed, either administratively by the child support agency, or judicially by the court)

If there are issues with the location of the payer and/or the payer's employment information, the information will appear in the Payer Locate Status field. Remember: Payers must report changes in employment to the Trust Fund (800-991-5530) or to the child support agency.

Financial Orders

This section lists all financial orders related to the court case, including:

• case number (KIDS case number),

• amount ordered for the debt type (e.g., $35 bi-weekly)
• period (how often the ordered payment on the debt type is due)
• effective date (the date the first payment on the debt type was due)
