Mission Statement
The Racine County Child Support Department is committed to
serving the citizens of Racine County in assisting with the establishment of
paternity and the collection of child support in an efficient, positive manner.
For these participants, it is our goal to provide the best customer service,
information sharing and partnership building with the resources we have
available. We strive to resolve child support and paternity issues while
preserving the family structure by emphasizing communication and cooperation
between the parties. We provide services to custodial parents, non-custodial
parents, and most importantly, the children of our community. We represent the
State of Wisconsin and the public interest on behalf of our children who need
love and child support.
The Racine County Child Support Department is here to serve the
parents and children of Racine County through a cooperative partnership of
understanding, compassion and support.
The services offered by Child Support are financially directed and
include assisting in the establishment of paternity, and monitoring Child
Support collections in a reasonable and efficient manner.
Not all aspects of Child Support activity is processed through the
Child Support Program. Federal regulations for Child Support require that for
individuals to be eligible for Child Support services, the children have either
had, or currently are receiving some form of Public Aide including W-2 and
Medical Assistance. Child Support cases where children are currently in
foster/substitute care also qualify for Child Support Services. If you do not
qualify in one of the above categories, the Racine County Child Support
Department will charge a $35.00 fee to process any wage assignment for all new
or newly modified Non IV-D support orders. The fee shall be remitted to the
Child Support Department at the time the order is submitted for processing, and
no service will be provided until the processing fee has been paid. In the
alternative, you may elect to submit an
application for IV-D services. This alternative would
serve as a waiver to all future fees due on future wage assignment processing, and provide
complete IV-D services to the applicant.
The Child Support Department currently has in excess of 25,000-child
support cases with financial obligations. It is our goal to provide the best
customer service possible. The staff will make every effort to insure all
services available to you are delivered promptly and with clear and concise
information and direction.
The success of our Child Support services are dependent on the
cooperation we receive from everyone involved in your case. Accurate and
reliable information is vital to process your child support service needs
effectively.
We encourage you to contact us with concerns. You may reach our
