What is the process to establish an administrative child support order?
Paternity must be established before the child support enforcement agency (CSEA) can establish an administrative child support order. When paternity is established, the CSEA notifies both parties of the date, time, and location of the support establishment hearing, and tells both parties what documents they need to bring with them to the hearing (for example, pay stubs, tax returns, and verification of any available health insurance coverage). At the support establishment hearing, the administrative officer listens to any sworn testimony and completes the guidelines to determine the amount of child support and cash medical support that the non-custodial parent (obligor) will be ordered to pay, and to determine who will be ordered to provide health insurance coverage for the child(ren). Once the administrative child support order is issued, both parties have a right to file with the court to object to the order. My ex-spouse has remarried and has another family to support.
