If I have a private case and need help, can I use Child Support Services?

Yes. It is a good idea to open a case, whether you are the parent paying or receiving child support. Your caseworker will keep records, direct you to other resources that might benefit you, and be able to assist you if your situation changes. Child support can be complicated, and your local agency is there to help you navigate the system. If you do not receive public cash assistance, there is an annual fee to cover costs.
