Office of Child Support
The District Attorney's Child Support Division
provides services on behalf of the State of Louisiana. When
you request these services, you must cooperate with the District
Attorney by providing any information or documents needed
to establish paternity, to locate the parent and get support
payments for the child.
Information necessary for opening a child
support case include:
- Full legal name and address of the parent who is obligated
to pay.
- Date of birth and physical description of the non-custodial
parent.
(Photographs are very helpful.)
- Social Security number of the non-custodial parent.
- Birth certificate of each child
- A copy of any marriage license
- A copy of any divorce decree or separation agreement.
- Name and address of the current or most recent employer
of the non-custodial parent.
- Names and addresses of friends or relatives of the non-custodial
parent.
- Information relating to income and other assets of the
non-custodial parent.
The more information you provide, the easier
it is to collect child support for you. If you are eligible
for public assistance or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF), your case will be automatically referred to the District
Attorney's Office.
Available Services
All children have the right to be supported
by both parents. Any person, including a non-custodial parent,

- Establishing paternity.
