If it helps, read this once before you call.
You can hang up at any time, and you don't have to give your name.
You can call whenever you're ready, or not at all.
what to say first
“Hi, I've separated and I'd like to understand my child support options.”
Your own words are just as good.
two questions you might ask
- How is child support worked out?
- Can it be collected for me, rather than paid directly between us?
After the call: if it feels safe, write down one thing you learned, somewhere private.
want a copy?
Paper and downloads can be found by others. Only keep a copy if it's safe for you.
