How Do I Apply to Receive Child Support?

Iowa Child Support can help you get child support and medical support. We can establish paternity, establish support orders, locate parents and their employers, modify, suspend and enforce child support.

To get help with child support payments you must apply for services with Iowa Child Support and provide the information we need to set a case up for you. Child Support then sets up a case for you and starts the processes needed to help you receive support payments. Either parent may apply for Child Support Services. 

You can apply for child support online or by requesting an application form an Iowa Child Support office.
