The Child Support Unit provides custodial parents with assistance in obtaining financial support and medical insurance coverage for their children by locating parents, establishing paternity and establishing support orders.
Collecting, enforcing and distributing child support payments is also done in coordination with the State Division of Child Support Enforcement.
The Child Support Online Enrollment Wizard allows individuals to enroll in child support services online – eliminating the need to visit a child support office or mail in a paper enrollment form. This new feature reduces paperwork and processing time for enrollees. The link to the Online Enrollment Wizard is https://childsupport.ny.gov/enroll.
