Closing a Case

A child support case may be closed when:

• An obligation ends and the paying parent has paid all current and past due child support
• A county child support office has been unable to create or enforce an order
• A paying parent or the person receiving payments cannot be found
• The person who signed up for child support services requests it

The local county support office may send a letter to the paying parent and the person receiving payments 60 days before closing the case. If new information about a case is ever received, it may be reopened.
