CHILD SUPPORT RESOURCES










NOTE: 
Please keep in mind that if a parent refuses to pay child support OR works "under the table", etc. to avoid paying as long as possible, there is a way 
the responsible parent can still collect on this debt!  Please keep the court support letter CURRENT and you will be able to collect the amount owed 
when that parent who owes the support, collects a government check eventually. That includes disability pay, SSI, SSD, or even their retirement 
Social Security payments! Just go to the court once a year and make sure 
that order is kept current! The parent not paying will have a very rude sur-
prise once those government checks kick in! 

The Michigan Attorney General's Office targets deadbeat parents. The 
Attorney General works with county prosecutors and generally targets 
cases in which the offenders are living out of state and/or have large 
delinquencies.  

In Wayne County:
Generally, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Felony Non-Support Unit may 
get involved if the arrears exceed $5,000, civil enforcement has failed &  
the offending parents still live in MI. Call the office at 313-224-0465.

In Oakland County: 
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office Family Support Division issues 
about 100 warrants each year for deadbeat parents. Call the office at 248-
858-5620.

In Macomb County:
The Assistant Macomb County Prosecutor handles 3-6 felony non-support 
cases a week. The process starts with the County's Friend of the Court sys-
tem at 586-469-7618.

OCSE is the federal government agency that oversees the national 
child support program. We help child support agencies in states & 
tribes develop, manage, and operate their programs according to 
federal law using effective child support enforcement tools. OCSE 
does not provide services directly to families. We partner with state, 
tribal and local child support agencies and others to encourage par-
ental responsibility so that children receive financial, emotional, and 
medical support from both parents, even when they live in separate households. Offers a great deal of good information on their website!
