We assist parents in obtaining the financial support necessary for children to grow and succeed in life.

To that end, the Domestic Relations Department prepares petitions for both child and spousal support; establishes paternity for children born out of wedlock; establishes and enforces support orders; and locates absent non-custodial parents.

Please note the Domestic Relations Department does not handle custodyprotection from abuse or divorce.
