What agency can help me with Wyoming child support issues?
The Child Support Enforcement Division of the Wyoming
Department of Family Services is an agency that handles all matters
related to child support. Child Support Enforcement offers a number of
services related to child support, including:
What will my child support payments be?
The amount of a monthly child support order is determined by
state guidelines that take into consideration the needs of the
child/ren and each parent's responsibility and ability to provide
financial support for their child/ren. To get an estimate of what your
monthly child support payments may be in Casper, Cheyenne, Jackson or
elsewhere in the state, use the child support calculator above.
Can child support payments be modified?
Child support payments may be modified whenever either parent's
financial circumstances change significantly enough to warrant
re-addressing the matter of child support. Child support payments may
also be modified after a certain amount of time has passed since the
initial order was placed. Child Support Enforcement can provide you
with details of what criteria must be met in order to seek a
modification of a current child support order.
Who is eligible for services from Child Support Enforcement?
Child support services through Child Support Enforcement are
available to any parent who is owed child support, was ordered to pay
child support or wants to establish paternity and/or collect child
support—regardless of need or income.
Can Child Support Enforcement services help me with child custody issues?
No. Child Support Enforcement does not have the authority to
handle matters related to child custody and visitation. It is important
to speak with an experienced Wyoming family law attorney if you have
question about child custody or need help in any matters related to
child custody.
My child's father/mother is not paying child support. What can I do?
If the child support is court ordered, you may seek the
assistance of Child Support Enforcement. Child Support Enforcement has a
number of measures they can take to enforce court-order child support
agreements. If you do not have a court-ordered child support agreement
in place, Child Support Enforcement can help you establish one.
