Probate
Wisconsin Probate - ApplicationThe DHS-1201D IV-D Child Support Services Application form is essential for parents involved in privately filed domestic relations cases such as divorce, annulment, paternity, separate maintenance, or custody cases in the state of Michigan. This form is specifically for those seeking child support services as defined under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. It’s required when a parent, or their attorney, is filing independently without the use of state-assigned legal representation and seeks to establish or modify child support orders.
- When initiating a divorce that involves children, this form is necessary to apply for child support services.
- Filing a paternity case can trigger the need to fill out this form to arrange support services.
- During custody proceedings, applying through this form will ensure the child’s financial needs are formally addressed.
Before completing the DHS-1201D form, individuals might already have filed a Verified Statement or Judgment Information Form, which establishes the basic framework and claims of their case. The need for this form is often triggered by the filing of a domestic relations case where child support is a component, signaling the start of formal child support service involvement by the Friend of the Court.
1. **Complete the Form**: Fill out the DHS-1201D IV-D Child Support Services Application with the necessary details regarding both parents, the child(ren), and any relevant case information.
1. **Gather Required Information**: Ensure all relevant supporting documents are ready, such as the Verified Statement or Judgment Information Form, to accompany your application.
1. **Locate Your Local Office**: Identify your local Friend of the Court office, which is responsible for handling child support applications in your area.
1. **Submit the Application**: Return the completed application, along with any additional documents, to the Friend of the Court office where your domestic relations case is filed.
1. **Await Confirmation**: After submission, await confirmation or further instructions from the Friend of the Court regarding the next steps in processing your child support services application.
Custody Impact
When indicating who the child(ren) live with most of the time, note that this information is used for administrative purposes only and does not affect any pending custody hearings. It is crucial to ensure this is an accurate representation of the current living situation.
SSN Requirement
Providing Social Security Numbers for both parents is crucial for the IV-D program to verify identities and facilitate child support services. Make sure to double-check the accuracy of these numbers to avoid delays.
Family Violence Concern
If you believe that disclosing your address or other identifying information can lead to harm, check 'Yes' for Family Violence Disclosure. The Friend of the Court staff will ask for more details to protect your privacy adequately.
Repayment Preference
When deciding how the program should handle errors or overpayments, think carefully about your current financial situation. Checking 'Yes' with a percentage less than 25% might be wise if finances are tight.
Service Choice Confirmation
Ensure you understand the child support services offered under Title IV-D as explained in the DHS-Pub-748 handbook. Familiarize yourself with these services to better utilize them for your child's benefit.
