Office of Child Support Enforcement
Child support for parents
About
The federal child support office explains how a case works for parents. Your state or tribe still runs the case. This page does not calculate your order.
Office of Child Support Enforcement publishes this. DadLane lists the page and does not run the program.
Who this is for
Dads who need the federal parent page before they call the state child support office.
