This Illinois child support order application is issued under Title IV-D by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. It allows either parent in a child support case to formally request state-assisted services — from locating the other parent and calculating the support amount paid, to collecting payments and sometimes representing the case in local court without private legal counsel.
The document covers both parties details: applicant contact data, all children listed under the case, the other parent identifying details including address and date of birth, any existing court order or docket number that has been filed, and the military status of either parent. A family violence indicator is included for added protection, with TTY or language services for accessibility. Applicants should supply as much data as possible so HFS can locate the other parent and track the child support case effectively. Payment records are kept on file and shared with both parties.
Once filed, either parent may request a modification if the child living arrangements change, income shifts, or the local court finds changed circumstances warrant adjusting the amount paid. HFS will sometimes represent the custodial party at no charge.
