Get Prepared
Either parent can Open a Child Support Case online, call the DCSS office at 1-844-MYGADHS (1-844-694-2347) or print, fill out and mail in their application packet. You can also complete the application online, then print it out and bring it with all required and supporting documents to your local Child Support Office.
However, to get a support order, establish paternity, or enforce a support order, DCSS must know where the noncustodial parent (NCP) lives and/or works. There is no guarantee the other parent will be found, but the more information you provide, the easier it will be.
DCSS will order a paternity test to be conducted if paternity has not been established or if it is disputed.

Set Up Payments
You can receive payments through either a debit card or direct deposit. State law requires income withholding, and in most cases the support amount can be deducted from the NCP's paycheck.

Enforce the support order
If a parent does not obey a support order, he or she may be found in contempt of court. A contempt action may be filed against the NCP who fails to make support payments or does not maintain the required medical insurance. NCPs found in contempt of court may be fined, sentenced to jail, or both.
The judge may order the NCP who is unable to pay to be enrolled in the Fatherhood Program or in the Parental Accountability Court program. In addition to being enrolled in one of these programs, the NCP is still obligated to pay the full amount of current and past-due support.
The child support order may also be enforced through one of the following actions:-
Withholding child support from paychecks, unemployment or weekly worker's compensation benefits
-
Offsetting federal and/or state income tax refunds
-
Reporting the parent’s delinquent child support payments to the three credit reporting bureaus
-
Suspension or revocation of a NCP’s drivers’, professional, occupational or recreational hunting or fishing licenses for their failure to pay child support as ordered
-
Intercepting lottery winnings when they exceed $2,500
-
Filing contempt actions in the superior court which may result in a jail sentence if the NCP is found to be in contempt of court
-
Filing of liens to seize matched bank accounts, lump sum worker's compensation settlements and real or personal property
-
Denial, suspension or revocation of the passport of someone who owes more than $2,500 in child support

How to collect alimony if the payer is in another country

How to collect alimony if the payer is in another country
⠀
If the father is a foreigner or has left for another country, alimony is collected according to the rules of the state of which the child is a citizen. Mom can apply to the Russian court.
⠀
But the recovery of alimony by a court decision will depend on the rule of the country where the payer is located.
If this state has an agreement to assist in solving civil cases, the process is simplified. If not, recovery can be difficult.
⠀
✅ If there is a decision of the Russian court
Apply to the competent court of a foreign state with a request for recognition and enforcement of the decision. Enter the address of the debtor in another country. All documents must be translated into the language of a foreign state.
⠀
The petition must be sent to the main department of the Ministry of Justice of Russia for the region for further transfer to the territory of a foreign state under the terms of an international treaty. This can be done by the claimant himself or by the court that made the decision. The Ministry of Justice will check the documents, transfer them to another country, and there the court will issue a writ of execution. Collection will be handled by foreign bailiffs.

How to get alimony from the state
- Eligibility for alimony from the state
- Procedure for obtaining alimony from the state
The right to receive alimony from the state
If you did not actually receive a penny after receiving a court decision on the recovery of alimony for the maintenance of a child, the law provides for the opportunity to receive temporary assistance from the state.
So, on what grounds and how to get alimony from the state.
Before contacting the relevant authorities, it is worth finding out on what grounds state alimony is assigned. So, state alimony is assigned if:
- a court decision on the recovery of alimony is not executed due to evasion of alimony or the debtor's lack of funds and other property that can be levied under the law;
- one of the parents is recognized in the prescribed manner as incapacitated or is in military service;
- one of the parents is under arrest, investigation, in places of deprivation of liberty or in compulsory treatment;
- the place of residence (stay) of the father or mother has not been established.
It should be noted that temporary state assistance is granted exclusively to a child under 18 years of age.
So, if you are not receiving alimony due to one of the above reasons, then you have the right to apply to the state for help.
Thus, the payment of financial assistance is carried out by the department of labor and social protection at the place of residence (stay) of the parent who supports the child.
Alimony can be received regardless of the dissolution of the marriage.
- Be sure to read the publication about maintaining a wife after a divorce.
- How to protect yourself from domestic violence with a restraining order.
The procedure for obtaining alimony from the state
To assign state assistance instead of alimony, you must contact the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population with the following package of documents:
- copy of the child's birth certificate;
- application for benefits;
- certificate from the state register of debtors;
- income and property declaration.
In addition to the main package of documents, and depending on the grounds on which assistance is granted, the following additional documents must be submitted:
- court decision (executive order) on the recovery of alimony;
- certificate of the state executive service, confirming the fact of non-payment of alimony;
- certificate in relation to one of the parents on the opening of criminal proceedings;
- certificate of the father's (mother's) stay in compulsory treatment, in places of deprivation of liberty or in military service;
- certificate of recognition of the second parent as incapacitated;
- message from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the location of the alimony payer has not been established.
