The Child Support Authority is a state agency responsible for establishing and enforcing child and medical support obligations for cases that have been opened with the office under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Services are provided to any person who either applies for them or is receiving certain public assistance benefits from the state of Wyoming.

Some of the primary responsibilities of Child Support Enforcement are:

• Establish Paternity and Support
• Enforce existing child support obligations
• Locate custodial and non-custodial parents
• Answer child support related questions
• For additional information, we have Child Support Booklets providing information about our services available in hard copy at our office. These booklets are free of charge.

Child Support Payments

Please contact our office at 307-684-7271 or districtcourtefile@johnsoncowy.gov if you have any questions or encounter any challenges paying or receiving child support.

In Wyoming, all child support payments are required to be paid through the District Court or the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) and are tracked in the statewide Child Support Computer System, POSSE, overseen by the Department of Family Services. Some payments made to the Johnson County District Court are also processed and disbursed through the SDU.
