Parents can also file a petition in circuit court to change their support order. First, the parent making the request gives their financial and other information to the Child Support Program for review. Once this information is received, the Program contacts the other parent to obtain their information.

Some things you'll need to get started: Copy of your financial records for the past two years. For example: pay stubs, federal income tax returns, 1099 forms, benefit statements and/or other proof of income. Health insurance information (if you have it). Information on any childcare expenses you pay.

The most common way to enforce a child support order is by filing a "motion for civil contempt." Filing this motion (written request) tells the court that you have a valid child support order in place, and the noncustodial parent is behind on payments.

The parents will be asked about each one's usual expenses, and child support hearing questions will be asked about the more serious expenses. Emergency medical expenses will have to be proven, and extra responsibilities, such as other children with another person, will have to be verified.

Contact the office that oversees the respondent's county. You'll need to fill out a form and pay a fee (usually no more than $50). The sheriff (or, more likely, a sheriff's deputy) will go to the address you provide and try to hand the papers to the respondent.
