We serve residents of Washtenaw County by establishing paternity and/or obtaining child support by court order.
Services are available for families receiving public assistance or to families who do not receive assistance, but apply for our services through the Department of Human Services, DHS (formally FIA).
The Prosecutor's Office represents county residents in over 90% of the paternity cases filed here each year. We also file cases for child support alone when legal parents are separated.
We establish child support obligations totaling approximately 2 million dollars each year for hundreds of families.
