"Benefiting children by establishing paternity, establishing and modifying support orders, collecting support, and promoting the means to do so"
- Child Support Services
Locating absent parents, establishing parentage, establishing and enforcing court orders (includes child support, medical support, and child care support), reviewing/modifying/adjusting support orders, working with other states to enforce child support when a parent lives outside of Minnesota, collecting and processing payments for support.
- Service Costs
Parents who do not receive public assistance can apply for services and are charged a $25 application fee and a $25 annual collection fee. An applicant for our services will also pay a 1% MN cost recovery fee. This 1% fee pays for some of the costs associated with operating MN's child support program. Single parents who receive public assistance are automatically referred for services and do not pay any fees.
Services not provided by Child Support Offices include divorces, visitation and custody, spousal maintenance (alimony) establishment, legal advice or counsel.
