Local Child Support Agency (LCSA)
The LCSA in your county can help you get child support even if you don't get public assistance. It can help you raise or lower child support, and enforce a child support order. The LCSA can't help with child custody, visitation, or a divorce.

 ALERT! The local child support agency (LCSA) doesn't represent the parents or the children. The LCSA lawyers aren't your lawyers. You aren't a legal client, and the information you give the LCSA isn't confidential.
LCSA lawyers can give certain information about your case to other agencies, the other parent, or the other parent's employer or lawyer.
The law says the LCSA will make the final decision on child support enforcement, even if the custodial parent disagrees.
Parents have the right to get advice from a private lawyer or legal aid group at any time.
