How to Check on Payment Status

The State of Wisconsin has created several outstanding resources to check on your child support payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That is why Dane County Child Support no longer provides payment information over the phone. Please use one of the listed payment resources available to you to manage your account balances, court order summary and payments made or received.

Understanding Child Support

OCSE NEW WEBPAGE ‘UNDERSTANDING CHILD SUPPORT’   The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) has launched a new webpage, Understanding Child Support, to help parents find basic child support information. This web content replaces the hard copy and PDF Child Support Handbook.

 

 

 

Not everyone is aware of the child support program and the services we provide. That’s why the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement created an informational video to share with parents and partners. It looks at the most common child support services that parents will typically use and provides general advice to ensure the process goes smoothly.
