How to find out my child support case number


DCS: Child Support: Child Support Orders

  • Child Support
  • Custodial Party Information
  • Current: Child Support Orders

Child support orders are legal obligations to provide financial support for a child(ren), and are established by a court of law.  All child support obligations in Indiana are governed by the Indiana Child Support Rules and Guidelines issued by the Indiana Supreme Court.  The guidelines employ a methodology designed to calculate child support as the share of each parent's income estimated to have been spent on the child if the parents and child were living in an intact household.   For the non-custodial parent, the calculated amount establishes the amount of child support to be paid to the Custodial Party for the benefit of the child(ren).  The amount calculated for the custodial party is presumed to be spent directly on the child(ren).  The Guidelines also address special considerations for extraordinary education expenses and parenting time(visitation).

When a child turns 19 years old, the child is emancipated by operation of law, and the non-custodial parent's obligation to pay current child support terminates.  An exception is if the child is incapacitated.  In this case, the child support continues during the incapacity or until further order of the court.  A court order for the child support to extend beyond 19 years old is required.

The court shall emancipate a child prior to the age of 19 if the court finds that the child:

  • Marries; or
  • Goes on active duty status with the US Military; or
  • The child is not under the care or control of either parent or an individual or agency approved by the court.

The court may terminate a non-custodial parent's support obligation, with or without emancipating the child if the court finds that all of the following circumstances exist:

  • The child is at least 18 years old; and
  • The child has not attended a secondary school or post-secondary educational institution for the prior 4 months; and
  • Is not enrolled in a secondary school or post-secondary educational institution; and
  • The child is, or is capable of, supporting himself or herself through employment.

In order for a court to terminate a child support order prior to 19, a petition must be filed with the court.  If a non-custodial parent owes any arrearage at the point when the order for child support terminates, he or she is still required to pay the arrearages.

If two or more children are covered by a child support order and one child is emancipated, the amount of the child support is not automatically reduced.   The parties must seek a modification of the court order to determine the new amount of support for the remaining child(ren).

If you are ordered to pay support, you are also responsible for payment of the annual support fee (ASFE) for each of your court orders.  This fee is sometimes referred to as a "docket fee" or a "clerk fee".  The current annual support fee is $55.00.  For more information about annual support fees, please click Annual Support Fees.

How are child support obligations enforced?

Some of the enforcement tools that may be used include:

  • Withholding support payments from wages, unemployment compensation and other benefits
  • Intercepting federal and state income tax refunds, lottery winnings, and insurance settlements
  • Reporting of unpaid support to a credit bureau
  • Suspending driver's and professional licenses as well as hunting and fishing licenses
  • Applying vehicle liens
  • Locating and withholding bank assets
  • Cross matching parents who owe support with employer new hire reports
  • Denying/revoking passports
  • Interfacing data with numerous other federal and state agency systems

How to Pay Court-Ordered Support

Income Withholding
If an Income Withholding Order (IWO) was sent to your employer or income payor, they will forward the support withheld from your earnings to the Indiana State Central Collection Unit (INSCCU).   However, you are responsible for paying child support until the IWO becomes effective.

How do I pay child support before the IWO is in effect?
Only cash payments can be accepted by the office of the County Clerk in the county where your court order originated. Payments by personal check, money order, cashier's check or certified check are to be made payable to INSCCU and mailed to:

INSCCU
PO Box 7130
Indianapolis, IN  46207-7130

When sending a payment to INSCCU, please include the following information:

  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Your phone number
  • Your child support case number
  • Last 4 digits of your social security number
  • Your court cause number
  • Payment amount

If you have more than one child support case, you may either:

  • Send one check, money order, cashier's or certified check per case, or
  • Send one check, money order, cashier's or certified check that covers the amount due on all of your cases.   If you send one check to be applied to more than one case, please be sure to identify the amount of payment to be applied to each case and list each child support case number individually.

A Child Support Remittance Form to include with your payment is available for download here. It is important that all information is completed.  If you do not know your child support case number or court cause number, you may contact the Kidsline at (800) 840-8757 or (317) 233-5437.  Customer Service representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. excluding state holidays.

I have a child support order, but the non-custodial parent doesn’t pay. How can I get my order enforced?

One of the principal goals of the Child Support Program is to ensure families receive the child support they need and deserve in accordance with the child support order.

When administrative mechanisms do not prove effective, court involvement may be necessary. For assistance in enforcing your child support order, contact your local child support office.

How can I obtain the child support balance?

Contact your local child support office to request the balance on your case(s). If you do not agree with the amount stated, you may request a manual calculation be completed based upon your court order.

I think the child support obligation needs adjusting. How can I get it changed?

Both parents have the right to request a review and possible modification of the child support order at any time. A significant variance is required for modification of an existing order. Current income information for both parties will be reviewed to determine if an adjustment is appropriate based on the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines. For assistance, contact your local child support office or your private attorney.

My employer continues to deduct too much child support even though my arrears are paid (or there has been a recent modified order). Who should I contact?

If you think your payroll deduction for child support is incorrect, contact your employer or your local child support office for assistance.

My child will soon be 18 years and is still in high school. Do I need to do anything?

Tennessee Code Annotated Section 34-1-102 (b) states that parents shall continue to be responsible for the support of each child for whom they are responsible after the child reaches eighteen (18) years of age if the child is in high school. The duty of support shall continue until the child graduates from high school or the class of which the child is a member when the child attains eighteen (18) years of age graduates, whichever occurs first. Please contact your local child support office for case specific information.

How to find and find the 2022 child support enforcement number

Enforcement information is usually required for a court case (for example, if a person is filing for a challenge or bankruptcy). And how to find out the number of the writ of execution for alimony? First of all, through the Federal Bailiff Service, where, in fact, enforcement proceedings are initiated. But you can also do this through the State Services portal by logging in to the system. nine0004

Consider why you need to find out the number of the writ of execution, how it happens and other nuances of this procedure.

Why does a person need to find out the number of a writ of execution?

The question is really interesting. In principle, if you intend to pay the debt, then you don’t really need to know the production number. It is enough to contact your bailiff and express a desire to pay the full amount. Or go to the FSSP website and find your own business. You will also find payment details there. nine0004

Note that many people are not at all hiding from the "punitive system" of the FSSP - they are sincerely blissfully unaware of their debts until they are hit on the hat. In other words, the visit of a bailiff and the arrest of a car or other property becomes a terrible surprise for a person.

Well, of course, it is difficult to surprise a person with alimony: nevertheless, he knows that he has a child and that his mother applied for alimony. And not only filed, but also won the court. Normal people do not shy away from this honorable duty, but even here there are sometimes surprises. nine0004

For example:

  • the person changed jobs, registration address or other data, which led to alimony arrears;
  • the employer of the payer made a mistake in the settlement documents and transferred the alimony less than it should be. Or didn't list them at all.

Oh well, it's all lyrics. Now back to our question - why is the number of the writ of execution required?

Answer:

  1. The mother of the child (most often it is the mother) sued, won the case and applied to the bailiffs for recovery. But the father of our hypothetical child does not agree with the claims and does intend to go to court. He wants to remove the issue of paternity in general, having achieved a DNA examination. For such a case, he will need a writ of execution (if the recovery has already begun). nine0011
  2. The child's father has decided to file for bankruptcy. He needs to apply to the arbitration court and form a package of documents for verification. These include information on current court decisions.
  3. The child's father regularly pays alimony, but the bailiff still imposes tough measures, as in case of delay. In particular, the father is forbidden to leave the Russian Federation, the seizure of property and bank cards is introduced. Of course, the situation requires explanation. Note that such errors are quite common in practice. nine0011
  4. The bailiff began to pursue not the father of the child, but his namesake. An outsider's cards were blocked by mistake, money was withdrawn, and now they set about property. Of course, he needs to contact the bailiff and explain the circumstances. This may also require the number of the writ of execution.

Writ of execution for the recovery of alimony

Where can I find a writ of execution for alimony?

Actually, you can view or find out the document number in the following ways:

  1. Personally appearing at the territorial branch of the FSSP.
  2. By contacting the bailiffs at the phone number listed on the site.
  3. Turning to the bailiffs with a written statement.

There is also an alternative option for introverts - to find on the Internet the official portal of the FSSP and the Bank of Enforcement Proceedings. It is located at this address.

Where exactly is the number of enforcement proceedings indicated?

The submitted number in the document is indicated after the word RESOLVED. The code set includes:

  • the year in which the proceedings were initiated;
  • subdivision code of the FSSP;
  • serial number of the case.

In general, the number looks something like this: 49522/20/40354.

Is it possible to find a writ of execution?

Yes, you can. Follow this instruction:

  1. Enter the bailiff portal or through the State Services and go to the search database.
  2. Next, find yourself by your full name and you will receive a case and a number of enforcement proceedings. Also, the document will indicate the details of the court order or decision and the full name of the judge or the name of the court. nine0011

An alternative is an independent search for a court decision or order. The easiest way is to do an internet search. Information about court orders and decisions is published on the websites of judicial departments. It is important to know one nuance - as a rule, the recovery is carried out through the court, which is located at the place of residence of the defendant.

So if you are looking for a court order against yourself, you will need to find a court site that works in your area. Accordingly, the search is carried out as follows:

  1. We are looking for the name of the judicial body in the search line. It is a magistrate's court or a court of general jurisdiction. You can find a court through the GAS Justice system. Fortunately, the portal has a function to select a court on the map.
  2. We go to the site of the court we need and look for the section "Judicial proceedings" there. There you will need to find the button "Search for information on cases".
  3. In the appropriate form, enter all the information you know. In particular, the search can be carried out simply by the names of the defendants in the case. nine0011
  4. Next, cards will drop out for you. They can be opened to receive data. For each card, you will find out the case numbers, dates of registration of materials, dates of court decisions, the name of the judge and other relevant data.

Search by last name is a rather difficult task. Especially if you have a common surname like Ivanov or Semenov, and not Zaduyveter or Dobryysvet.

If you also log in to the court portal, you will be able to use the electronic documents in the case. You can enter only through the account of the State Services or with an electronic digital signature. And yet, you can get acquainted with the information about the court order without these formalities. nine0004

Further, when you know the name of the judge and the case number, you can apply for a copy of the documents to the court. You will have to apply to the judge with a statement. It must also indicate the date of the judgment or order and the case number.

Order for the recovery of alimony

What information cannot be obtained via the Internet?

Not all information can be placed on portals where lawsuits are published. This moment is regulated by No. 262-FZ. For example, publications about certain texts of trials, about state secrets, and personal data of citizens were strictly banned. nine0004

Consider what is meant by personal data? First of all:

  • contact information of the person - claimant, defendant, and so on;
  • full name of all participants in the court case;
  • information about property objects.

Also on the official pages of courts and government departments you will not find information:

  • on declaring a person incompetent;
  • on the transfer of a person to a psychiatric clinic;
  • about family relationships of individuals; nine0011
  • on sexual violence.

You can only find out the number of a writ of execution for alimony through the FSSP

If you urgently need information regarding a writ of execution, you need to contact the FSSP. You can visit your local office in person, or by phone or online. An alternative option is the State Services, but even here we will have to apply through the FSSP.

What information can be obtained from the FSSP portal?

We already wrote that the court decision can be checked in the database of enforcement proceedings. This database is under the control of the FSSP, but in the public domain. You can find out for free who and how much is demanding from you, on what grounds and why.

So, you will need to go to the production bank and fill in the search fields:

  • territorial body of the FSSP - here you just need to select the region in which you are registered;
  • your full name;
  • is your date of birth. nine0011

Next, press the search button and go through the captcha. After a few seconds, the search results will be displayed on the screen. If enforcement proceedings are actually being conducted against you, you will see this. It will be displayed on the screen. The following data will also be presented here:

  1. Date of excitation and production number.
  2. The date when the writ of execution was issued.
  3. Full name and contact information for the debtor.
  4. Amount owed. nine0011
  5. Grounds on which the debt is collected.
  6. Information about the bailiff who handles the case.

Note that even if you receive information through the State Services portal, you still actually apply to the FSSP. Through the State Services, you can:

  • send requests regarding proceedings to bailiffs;
  • find out how many cases are open against you;
  • to direct appeals against the actions of bailiffs. nine0011

Accordingly, if you need a document in the form of a writ of execution or a decision, you will need to either contact the FSSP or go to court.
