Preparing for Court
When you are preparing for a hearing, it is important to bring copies of important documentation with you, such as:
- Proof of Custody (i.e. school records, court order, etc.)
- Proof of Income
- Child Care Receipts
- Medical Expenses
- Other Expenses Related to the Child (i.e. extracurricular activities, sports, etc.)
Please remember, CSSD cannot advocate on your behalf. CSSD does not represent the custodial party or non-custodial party. If you disagree with the child support decision of CSSD, it is your responsibility to advocate your position to the judge. If you disagree with any court filings resulting from a hearing, it is your responsibility to file with the court disputing the filings. CSSD will not dispute the results of a hearing for either party because we are a neutral entity.
