request to be sent to the payer's state. The support specialist's
telephone number is 866-661-0005. You may also download a Child Support Services Application  (251 KB) from this website and return it to the address shown on the form.
If your order was issued by another state, and both parties
now reside in Michigan, you can contact the support specialist
at the DHS and request that a referral
be made to the Friend of the Court Office to have the
order registered in the State of Michigan. |

| If
you do not have a court order, and the other party resides

be made to the Child Support Division of the Prosecuting
Attorney's Office for establishment of a child support
order. |
