Paternity Establishment
A Simple Acknowledgment of Paternity (ASAP)
ASAP is Mississippi’s voluntary paternity establishment program. ASAP makes it possible for parents to establish paternity in hospitals and other birthing facilities, at the State Department of Health, County Health Departments, and the Division of Field Operations.
This procedure carries the same legal effect as if the father and the mother were married at the time between conception and birth. The program allows the father’s name to be added to the birth certificate.
PATERNITY
Paternity means fatherhood. Paternity is in question when a child is born of unmarried parents. If a child’s parents are not married, paternity can be established through voluntary acknowledgment or through court proceedings.
It is important to establish paternity for a myriad of reasons, such as identity, medical history, death, disability and insurance benefits, and support.
It is important for a child to know who he/she is and to feel the sense of belonging that knowing both parents brings.
A child also needs to know if he/she may have inherited any diseases or birth defects. Also, by knowing both parents, this could ensure against marriage between close relatives.
A child should have the right to possible benefits from both parents such as social security, medical and life insurance, as well as veteran’s benefits.
Also, a child has the right to food clothing and a home, which can be better provided when both parents are involved.
Support that is provided by one parent only to a child is often not adequate to meet his/her needs.
Legal paternity can be established while the mother is still in the hospital when both parents sign an acknowledgment of paternity and return it to the hospital staff. There is no fee involved, when the acknowledgment of paternity is filed along with the birth certificate. (To establish paternity upon leaving the hospital, please contact the Division of Field Operations at the Mississippi Department of Human Services.)
If establishment of paternity is involuntary, a petition to establish paternity must be filed with the appropriate court with jurisdiction over the matter.
Establishing paternity is the first step needed in order to ask for visitation privileges. The father will need to seek legal counsel for advice on visitation and, or custody.
Adding a father’s name to the birth certificate
A father’s name will be added to the birth certificate, when he is legally established as the child’s father after completing the acknowledgment form.
If the alleged father refuses to sign the Acknowledgment of Paternity form, the mother can request assistance from the Division of Field Operations at Mississippi Department of Human Services in establishing paternity, and obtaining child support through the court system. There is a $25 fee for this service UNLESS the mother is receiving any state supported benefit such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, (TANF) and, or Medicaid, in which case there is no charge for this service.

-
What is the maximum amount that can be withheld?
For child support income withholdings, the upper limit on what may be withheld is based on the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA). The Federal withholding limits for child support and alimony are based on the following disposable earnings of the obligor (i.
e., the employee):
-
-
-
-
- The Federal CCPA limit is 50 percent of the disposable earnings if the employee lives with and supports a second family, and 60 percent if the employee does not support a second family.
- This limit increases to 55 percent and 65 percent respectively if the employee owes arrears that are 12 weeks or more past due.

Lump Sum Payment Requirements for Employers
Pursuant to Mississippi Code Section 93-11-103(13), employers are required to report lump-sums paid to employees of over $500 to the Department of Human Services if the employer has been served with a withholding order that includes a provision for the payment of arrears. Lump-sums are defined in Mississippi Code Section 93-11-101(l). The employer shall notify the Department of Human Services of its intention to make a lump-sum payment at least 45 days before the planned date of the payment or as soon as the decision is made to make the payment, should that be less than 45 days.
The employer shall not release the lump-sum to the obligor until 30 days after the intended date of the payment or until authorization is received from the Department of Human Services, whichever is earlier. The Department of Human Services shall provide the employer with a Notice of Lien specifying the amount of the lump-sum to be withheld for payment of child support arrears.
To report a lump-sum or for further lump-sum inquiries, please email or fax us at [email protected] or 800-937-8668.
Multiple Child Support Orders for the Same Employee
You must add together the court-ordered current support owed for each order and withhold that amount first. If this amount does NOT exceed the CCPA or appropriate State law, you may withhold additional earnings for any arrears obligation, provided the total amount withheld does not exceed the amount available under the CCPA or appropriate State law.
May we combine child support payments from several employees?
You may send one check for each pay period to cover all child support withholdings for that pay period if they are all to be sent to the Mississippi Department of Human Services, provided you itemize the amount withheld from each employee, the date each amount was withheld, and the noncustodial parent’s social security number.
Is medical insurance required to be provided when the child does not live in the service area?
Yes. By law, medical insurance coverage available to the parent-employee cannot be denied to a child even though:
-
-
-
-
- The child was born out of wedlock and paternity has been established
- The child is not claimed as a dependent on the parent’s income tax return
- The child does not live with the parent
- The child does not live in your insurer’s service area
-
-
-
Under which insurance plan should the child be enrolled?
Enroll the child under the same health benefit plan in which your employee is enrolled. If the employee is offered more than one health plan, the plan chosen by the employee must provide coverage for dependents.
License Suspension ProgramWhat licenses can be suspended?
-
-
-
-
- If the delinquent parent does nothing or can not reach an agreed payment schedule within the 90 day period, then a notice is sent to the license agency to suspend the license.
- If the delinquent parent does nothing or can not reach an agreed payment schedule within the 90 day period, then a notice is sent to the license agency to suspend the license.
-
-
-
-

Additionally, a judge may order license suspension in any contempt proceeding for failure to pay child support. Also note that any licensed attorney may apply through MDHS for license information in a non-MDHS case.
Due Process

Get a certificate of alimony in 2022
Anyone who has at least something to do with this side of the legal relationship may need to issue a certificate of alimony. Questions for which a support certificate can be taken relate to confirming the amount of alimony payments or clarifying what part of the income this alimony represents. In addition, a certificate can be issued to find out the exact amount of the delay.
Moreover, you can issue a document not only to the payer, but also to the recipient. Then, with this certificate, you can apply to both private and public organizations, receive various benefits, etc. The document does not have a standardized form, but there is a specific list of information that must be displayed.
In what cases will you need a certificate of maintenance
The essence of the alimony certificate is to show whether money for the maintenance of the child was transferred from a person who, by law, must pay for it. At the same time, the reference in question can be used in a number of different situations:
- A certificate can be taken by a woman who is trying to get some kind of state benefit, where the fact of insufficient income is important. For example, this certificate can be taken into account when a family becomes registered with the status of a low-income family. Also, women can bring a certificate if they apply for various regional or federal-type benefits for children.
- Not infrequently, a certificate is issued by men who pay alimony and must prove their legal purity. It is standard practice for a bank to request documents on the expenses of its customers. Especially when it comes to loans.
- Quite often, a maintenance certificate is issued at the request of a tax inspector, since the document in question is fundamentally important in order to adequately calculate the taxable base.
- If the alimony payer's employer conducts alimony through his database, he will need a certificate for record keeping.
- Bailiffs are also executors of alimony certificates, especially if they are involved in the opening or closing of enforcement proceedings.
Obtaining a certificate can be problematic in a situation where the payer does not work anywhere, and no benefits have been issued in his name. Even if he regularly transfers alimony, it is rather difficult to prove the fact of their receipt, which means that it will not be possible to issue a certificate.
Where to get a certificate of maintenance
Usually, alimony is assigned in three ways - through a writ of execution, through a court order and on the basis of a notary agreement. Hence, you need to build on the case of issuing a certificate.
For example, if the recoverer initiated enforcement proceedings through the FSSP, a certificate can be obtained from the bailiffs. You can also draw up documents from the employer if the writ of execution for withholding alimony was sent to the work of the payer. In the case of a notarial agreement, supporting documents are drawn up between the parties to the transaction.
Sometimes a child support certificate is used as part of a document confirming a person's income and expenses. But in this case it can be replaced by payment documents from the bank. A receipt for the transferred funds may also be suitable. But it is important to indicate the purpose for which the payment is made.
So write that they transferred the money as child support.
Certificate of maintenance from the place of work
Employers often become unwitting participants in the “support war” between their employees and their families. For example, if an employer receives a writ of execution, he must by law withhold alimony from each salary of an employee and transfer them to the recipient of the alimony in question. And if he is asked for a certificate, he must provide it. And several persons can make a request at once, including the claimant, the payer and the bailiff.
The certificate issued by the employer contains a special list of information:
- Employee's personal data.
- Grounds on which payments are withheld. In this place, you can specify the parameters of the writ of execution.
- Exact amount of child support. Usually used decryption in the form of monthly payments.
- Period for which maintenance is withheld.
You can use both the entire period and the time that interests the applicant.
If the bailiff takes a certificate from the employer, you need the number of enforcement proceedings.
Certificate of alimony for social security: where to issue document
If the applicant wants to apply for social assistance measures, a statement of support is required, as it affects the amount of monthly income. You can request a certificate at the place of work of the debtor, if he works somewhere.
Where to get a certificate of alimony arrears
If there is a large debt for alimony and enforcement proceedings are opened to return the funds, ask for a certificate from the bailiffs. You can come to the FSSP and file an appeal there, or you can submit a request by mail.
Get a certificate from the State Services
The website of the State Services does not provide a special service for issuing certificates of alimony . But through the State Services, you can request a certificate from the FSSP about debts. And it will contain information about alimony. But this service is not available in all regions.
When a maintenance certificate is not issued
Sometimes a maintenance certificate cannot be issued. This usually happens because the person who has to pay child support does not work anywhere. At least officially. But at the same time, he was not registered with the Employment Center. Since alimony is paid by hand and without a receipt, there is simply no material on the basis of which a certificate can be issued.
You can get legal assistance on how to get certificates of alimony on our website.
How to order a child support certificate through the State Services, types of certificates
To receive benefits, you must provide information about income.
Among other documents, you will need proof of receipt of funds from your ex-spouse. You can order a certificate of alimony through the "Gosuslugi".
Features of requesting documents online
The online portal of public services provides the ability to generate the necessary documents remotely. On the site you can also get an electronic certificate confirming the fact of receiving alimony.
To request information, you must create an account on the Gosuslug website. The initial registration procedure is quick: all you need is a phone number and email. However, please note that there are several types of account on the portal:
- simple;
- standard;
- confirmed.
Simplified registration does not require personal identification, but most services will not be available. Standard registration opens up more opportunities for using the service; for this, passport data, SNILS and TIN are indicated. A full range of documents is opened upon confirmation of identity at the Service Centers and the MFC.
Most services are provided free of charge by law, except in cases that require the payment of a government fee. You can get a sample receipt here, on the Gosuslug Internet portal, and pay online.
Ordering certificates of alimony at the "State Services"
Material maintenance of the child is a civil debt of one of the spouses after a divorce by a court decision. Certificates of its implementation may be required to be submitted to the social security authorities. To do this, you need to confirm the income of each of the family members, including minor children. You can get a certificate of alimony through the "State Services", which make a request to the FSSP.
After a request through the portal, within two weeks you will receive a notification in an SMS message about the readiness of the certificate. The document is issued in the personal account also in electronic PDF format with a confirmed signature of an authorized employee of the competent authority.
After that, it remains only to print the official paper on the printer. If necessary, the document can also be notarized.
If the readiness message does not arrive, it is necessary to clarify on the Gosuslug portal or in the FSSP why the delay occurs. If it is not possible to receive an answer in any instance, the citizen has the right to write a complaint to the prosecutor's office.
There are several types of certificates of maintenance, the choice depends on the specific purposes for which such a document may be needed:
- on payment;
- on receipt;
- about absence;
- about debt.
You can order a certificate of alimony through the "Gosuslugi" of any type for subsequent submission to social services.
Payment
A proof of payment is required to show that the parent of a minor child does not evade obligations after a court-ordered divorce. To obtain an official paper, you will need a notarized agreement on the payment of alimony and a writ of execution.
After filling in the required fields on the Internet portal, you need to wait a few days. The paper will indicate the specific amounts of payments by months for the last six months. A certificate of alimony through the "Gosuslugi" for social protection, after confirmation by an electronic qualified signature, will be available in your personal account.
On receipt
The document is similar in form to the previous one, but its content is slightly different. A certificate of receipt of alimony is provided under certain conditions. A voluntary agreement on the material maintenance of minor children must be signed between parents. Reliable information about the former spouse is needed: his place of work or study, address.
If the parent is unemployed and not registered with the employment center, there is no agreement between the mother and father, it will not be possible to order a certificate of receipt. The same situation is with the document of non-payment of funds.
If there are no obstacles, you can request a certificate of alimony through the "State Services".
On the absence of alimony
If the parent did not apply for payments from the former spouse, to confirm income and receive social benefits, you must order a certificate of the absence of alimony from the State Services. The document confirms the fact that the parent did not receive funds from the former spouse.
About debt on alimony
To obtain a loan or preferential charges, travel abroad, exchange a driver's license, a citizen needs confirmation of the absence of debt obligations. Such a document can serve as a certificate of debt on alimony, which is convenient to order through the "Gosuslugi". The official paper shows all the latest accruals for a six-month period.
Upon receipt through the Internet portal, a certificate of alimony debt is confirmed by a unique electronic signature of a civil servant. The certificate has a certain expiration date, since a citizen can pay the debt at any time.
Usually the document is valid for about a month.
Other documents
In addition to the above certificates, you can order a certificate of non-receipt of alimony through the "Gosuslugi". It is required when applying for child benefits, to recognize a family as poor and receive benefits. Also, a citizen is required to obtain a document when moving abroad for permanent residence.
A certificate of non-receipt of alimony through the "State Services" can be issued if there are related evidence: alimony agreement and a writ of execution. It is also important to consider that the validity of the official paper is limited. It must be submitted within one month from the date of issue.
A certificate of non-payment of alimony through the "Gosuslugi" is required for a citizen to receive a monthly allowance for a child. This applies to cases when the parent of a minor who is obliged to pay funds evades or hides, does not get in touch.
