News Release No. 1-2003
March 19, 2003

Free Child Support Services Available

• Are you a single parent who needs to collect child support for your child?
• Do you need to change the amount of child support you receive or pay?
• Is your child’s other parent refusing to pay child support?
• Do you have a child born outside of marriage for whom you need child support?

If your answer is yes to any of these questions, you should call the Division of Child Support (DCS) at 1-800-729-7580 and ask for help.

DCS provides free assistance with establishing, modifying and collecting child support. It will also help establish paternity for children who are born outside of marriage. DCS will provide these services even if the non-custodial parent lives out of Washington State.

If your child support case requires the help of an attorney in San Juan County, DCS will refer the case to the San Juan County Prosecutor’s Family Support Unit.

Contact Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Alan Marriner at 360-378-4101 with questions about how DCS can help you.
