The purpose of the Decatur County Child Support Enforcement
office is to assure payment of child support for the benefit of
children. This office does not represent either the father or
mother of the child.
By law, the only issue for which this office has jurisdiction is
child support. The Child Support Enforcement Office
cannot become involved in property settlement disputes, child
visitation disputes or other family law issues. You need your own
private attorney for those issues.
This office will determine and
establish paternity for the benefit of any child who does not have a
legally declared father and also pursue that father for appropriate
payment of support.
For the rules and guidelines for
establishing child support in Indiana, see:

To use the services of this office, you
must submit an application and pay a service fee of $25.00. This
office is part of a nationwide system and network established by the
United States for collection of child support. If a parent is not
living within Indiana and failing to pay child support, this system
has resources in other states to enforce child support collection.

office at the courthouse or can be printed or downloaded from the
following:
