When you do get in touch with the agency, be prepared to provide all the information it will need. Your support order (or settlement agreement) should include basic identifying information for you, your spouse, and each of your children, including each person's date of birth, Social Security number, and current contact information. In addition, you'll need to give the agency:

• your court case number and a copy of the order of support

• information about your spouse's employment, including contact information for your spouse's employer, and

• your spouse's driver's license number and the identifying information for any professional license your spouse holds (for example, if your spouse is a doctor, lawyer, architect, or contractor).

Start right away establishing a good relationship with the folks at your child support office by doing your part and providing the information they need to do their jobs. You'll probably be assigned to one worker who will be in charge of your case, but keep track of every contact you have with the agency and who you talked to so that you can always trace the history of your case.

The state has great resources and can be an enormous help to you. At the same time, they're working with a lot of cases, so be patient and don't expect immediate results.

If You're the Recipient: Enforcing Child Support Orders

Getting a child support order from the court isn't that difficult it's getting your payments regularly that can be hard. You may be worried about getting your support checks because your spouse is self-employed or has a sporadic income stream, or because you simply don't consider your spouse trustworthy. And you're probably not off base in being concerned-millions of dollars in child support goes uncollected every year.
