Child Support Enforcement Agency 

Bring with you as much as possible from the 

following list as applies: 

• Name and address of the parent obligated to pay

• Non-custodial parent's social security number

• Children's birth certificates

• Your child support order

• Your divorce decree, decree of dissolution and/or separation agreement (certified copy, if available)

• Name and address of the current or most recent employer of the obligated parent

• Names of friends and relatives and names of organizations to which the non-custodial parent might belong

• Information pertaining to income and other assets - payroll stubs, tax returns, bank accounts, investments or property holdings

• Any information about the non-custodial parent

You may also be required to complete a detailed financial statement to qualify for our services.  Please have that information on hand for that purpose.  It will reduce the amount of time necessary for the initial processing of your case.   

We want to help your children get regular and full child support payments.  We want to see that children are supported by parents responsible for their support.  Our services are available to any Holmes County resident.  We need your full cooperation to make those services effective.

The success we have in obtaining regular, adequate, and full child support payments depends to a great extent on a positive working relationship between you and the CSEA.  At the same time, it is important to remember that not all the solutions to your child support problems are within your control.  

The legal rights and welfare of all parties must be carefully guarded.   The CSEA works closely with the courts to establish and enforce support orders while respecting the legal rights of the parties involved.

Knowledge is power.  The more you know about child support enforcement procedures, the better you will be able to exercise your rights and responsibilities under the law, and the more successful you will be in obtaining the support that rightfully belongs to your children.  As you proceed with your support case, it is a good idea to keep a written account of the actions taken and the outcomes of those actions.  Do not hesitate to ask questions and make suggestions to your case manager.  If you are not satisfied with the actions taken on your behalf, you have recourse through CSEA administrative procedures.  Keep in mind that it is always best to communicate your problem in writing.
