Ask Your Local Child Support Agency to Establish Parentage

Your local child support agency can bring an action to establish the parentage of your child. As part of this action, they will ask for a child support order. This service is free.

Your local child support agency is part of the state Department of Child Support Services . Every county has a local child support agency. The local agencies and the department help parents support and provide health insurance for their children.

To begin the process, call them and ask for an appointment to open a case for parentage and support. Click here to find the local child support agency in your county.
