OCSE child-support services: who can request them

OCSE child-support services: who can request them Qualifications and requirements: Services are available to a parent, legal guardian or caretaker of a child under 18 living with them. Court-ordered unpaid support can also support services after the child turns 18; older arrears can involve enforcement limits. OCSE can establish parentage and financial/medical support, enforce orders and review modification requests. Documents to prepare (confirm what is required): Child and caretaker information; Existing support and parentage orders; Payment history; Known information about the other parent; Safety or protection-order information Exceptions and checks: OCSE does not handle custody or visitation disputes. OCSE represents neither parent personally; it establishes and enforces support orders. Questions to ask: Do I need a new order, enforcement or a modification review?; Which existing orders and arrears are involved?; Are there safety concerns about disclosing my location? Next steps: Apply through the current OCSE service route.; Provide orders and available locating information.; Tell OCSE privately about safety concerns. Limits: An application is not a personal attorney engagement or an automatic change to an existing order.
