Message from the Attorney General on Child Support

"The problem of child support nonpayment is pervasive. When I took office, there were over 650,000 children in our state left to fend for themselves, not getting the court-ordered child support they needed. That's an over $8 billion debt. In our society, we have parents who have the means to pay, but simply do not. We can not stand idly by as these children go hungry."

--Attorney General Mike Cox
Michigan Sheriffs' Association
December 6, 2004

Overview of the Child Support Division
When the Child Support Division was created in April 2003, it was the first of its kind in the nation.
