What if I want help collecting my support payments?
As long as you have a child support order (with or without a spousal or partner support order), you can contact the Local Child Support Agency in your county and ask them to get involved in the case. They will collect the payments and send them to you. Their services are free of charge. Click here to find your local child support agency.
If you only have a spousal or partner support order (without child support) the Local Child Support Agency cannot help you. If you want help, you can hire a lawyer, or talk to your Family Law Facilitator. Click here to find your local family law facilitator.
What is the advantage of having the Local Child Support Agency involved?
The Local Child Support Agency (LCSA) is there to help parents and children with their support obligations. They have many ways to find someone who changes jobs a lot, they can take someone’s income tax return, they can freeze someone’s bank account, and they can suspend someone’s driver’s license or other professional license (like a contractor’s license, or a lawyer’s license to practice). Click here for more information on what the LCSA can do to collect support.
They can also file papers on behalf of either parent to change the amount of support when there has been a change in income, family status, or something else that would affect the support amount.
