Who Can Apply?
Child support services are available to the following persons, regardless of need or income, whether or not that person is receiving public assistance or has received public assistance in the past:

• Any parent who is owed child support or child support arrears;
• Any parent who is ordered to pay child support or owes child support arrears;
• Any parent who wants to establish the paternity of their child and/or establish a support obligation for their child; and
• Any person who has custody of a child and wants to establish the child’s paternity and/or collect child support. You may still be eligible if you, as custodian, are not the child’s parent or if you were not awarded custody by the court.

How Much Will This Cost?
The child support application fee is $25.00. However, there is no fee if you are currently receiving certain types of public assistance. The local child support office will review your application and federal and state requirements to determine if a fee is required. Once the review is completed the local office will contact you with the determination.

What Do I Need to Apply?
Before you begin this application, please review Wyoming’s Child Support Enforcement Program handbook, which outlines the basic services provided under our program and those services for which you will have to seek private assistance. Should you have questions about the program, please call your local child support office.

How Do I Apply for "Good Cause"?
If you are receiving certain types of public assistance, such as POWER and/or medical benefits you may be required to cooperate with child support. However, if you believe cooperating would not be in the best interest of you or your child(ren), you may be excused from cooperation by claiming good cause. For more information about claiming good cause, please contact your DFS Eligibility Worker and/or your Medicaid Eligibility Worker.

To begin the application, mark the appropriate option in the “Cooperation Notice Statement” section on the next page. If you have questions, please call (307) 777-6948 for assistance.
