If you are not receiving public assistance, you can apply for Child Support services through the Stevens County Child Support office. If you are receiving public assistance and you are the custodial parent of a minor child and the other parent does not live in your home, you are automatically referred for Child Support Services. 

You must take an active role in your case. Your cooperation with the Child Support Office improves support establishment and collection. You must report changes that affect your case.

If you are receiving public assistance, you must also assign some or all of your Child Support to the state. If you receive Child Support directly, you must report it. If paternity needs to be established or the non-custodial parent needs to be located, you must cooperate with the office by providing correct information. If you do not cooperate with paternity or Child Support, your public assistance benefits may be reduced. If the state makes a mistake and overpays you, you must repay the state for the over-payment.
