Child Support: the basics
Michigan's Child Support Program
Children need emotional and financial support from their parents. Even when a child's parents do not live together, it is important that everyone works together to support and be a part of their child's life.
Regular payment of child and medical support provides:
- Decreased conflict between parents.
- Increased involvement of all parents.
- Increased chance of children reaching their full potential.
We help parents establish a financial partnership to support their child(ren).
