Tell Us If You Would Like Help With Child Support
The Child Support Agency can help get financial and medical help for the child from the child’s absent parent.
If you seek assistance from the Child Support Agency, the courts can establish paternity and establish and
enforce medical and financial support obligations.
There are other benefits to working with the Child Support Agency. For example, your child may be eligible for
other financial benefits, including Social Security, pension benefits, veteran’s benefits and possible inheritance.
Also, your child may benefit by having a bond between parent and child. Finally, your child may benefit by
getting important medical history information.
If you want the Child Support Agency’s help in establishing paternity or in getting a financial or medical support
order through the court, check the “Yes” box. If you check the box, someone will contact you.
Yes, I would like help from the Child Support Agency.
