    Parent Resources

    Michigan's child support services are delivered through the Department of Human Services' Office of Child Support, county Prosecuting Attorney offices, county Friend of the Court offices and the State Court Administrative Office.

    Child support services are available to:

    • Parents of minor children, when one parent does not live with the child.
    • Parents who pay court-ordered child support.
    • Persons who have physical custody of a minor child.
    • Persons who receive public assistance for a minor child living in their home.

    Note: The child support program does NOT provide divorce assistance, spousal maintenance (alimony) order establishment, legal advice or counsel. Consult a private attorney or legal source to obtain these services.
