I need help applying for child support without online.

Q) I need help applying for child support without online. I want to meet with a real person

A) Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to apply for child support without online:

  1. Find your local child support agency. You can do this by searching online or by calling your local court or Department of Human Services.
  2. Contact your local child support agency and schedule an appointment. When you call, be sure to ask if the agency offers walk-in appointments or if you need to schedule an appointment in advance.
  3. Bring the required documents to your appointment. The required documents will vary from state to state, but some common documents include:
    • Proof of your identity
    • Proof of the other parent’s identity
    • Proof of the child’s birth
    • Proof of the child’s residency
    • Proof of your income
    • Proof of the other parent’s income
    • Proof of child care expenses
    • Proof of medical expenses
  4. Meet with a child support specialist. The child support specialist will help you complete the application and answer any questions you have.
  5. Once the application is complete, the child support agency will process it and issue a child support order. The child support order will specify the amount of child support that the other parent must pay.

If you are having difficulty applying for child support, you may be eligible for free legal assistance. You can find more information about free legal assistance on the website of the Legal Services Corporation.
