I Owe Child Support

If you owe child support, money may be withheld from your paycheck, tax refund, or other federal payment to pay that child support debt.

The Fiscal Service cannot help you stop, reduce, or manage your child support- we are only authorized to withhold money as ordered by a state or federal agency. Money will continue to be withheld from your paycheck, tax refund, or other federal payments until you no longer owe child support.

Next Steps

Visit the Office of Child-Support Enforcement website and find the child support office in your state or territory. After you have located that office, contact them for help managing your child support payments.
