If the father will not admit to paternity the court
will establish that he is the father. A child support order can then be entered and the child support
agency can begin collecting and enforcing the child support order.
If you need information about Child Support
Enforcement in your state you can find it here State Child Support
Enforcement Agencies.
If you were not married when
your child was born, the first step is to legally determine the father of
the child. Either parent can request a
blood test to establish paternity.
All states have official child
support guidelines. The guidelines are used to calculate how much a parent should
contribute to financially support his or her child.
3. Enforce the Child Support Order
The most successful way to
collect child support is by income withholding from the non-custodial parent's employer.
Child support orders require the employer to withhold the money that is ordered
for child support, and send it to the state child support office
4. Finding the Absent Parent
When a parent's whereabouts
are not known, it is usually possible for the child support office to find him or her with the
help of state agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, or the Federal
Parent Locator Service.
