Get help if you're having trouble paying child support

We understand that it can be hard to make your court-ordered child support payments. We can help.

At the Department of Child Support Services, we have experts who will:

• Listen to your situation
• Help you understand your options
• Refer you to helpful resources

We can also help figure out if you may be able to pay a lower amount of child support.

California has a program that can help parents pay a lower amount of child support if they meet certain requirements.
