Online child support service
The Ministry of the Attorney General’s Online Child Support Service allows separated parents with non-complex child support cases to establish and update child support payments through an online portal, without going to court.
File your documents
You should make at least two copies of all your completed forms – one copy for each of you and the original for the court.
You must file all your documents online using Justice Services Online or in person at the courthouse.
The judge’s decision
If the judge grants the orders you requested, the court will send you both the signed order by email or in the self-addressed stamped envelopes that you provided to the court.
If the judge does not grant the orders, the court will send you an endorsement that tells you why and any next steps you must take.
