In order to enforce child support payments in Utah a parent not receiving child support funds owed to them may be able to contact the Office of Recovery Services Child Support Services (ORS/CSS) for assistance. ORS/CSS may be able to help locate the other parent, if needed and automatically have funds deducted from their paycheck on a weekly/biweekly/monthly basis so that the funds are received.
How to File a Complaint
In Utah, a parent is obligated to pay child support in accordance with any child support validly issued by a court either in Utah or in another state. Child support orders are enforced across state lines by the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. Child Support payments must be remitted as specified in the court order.
In order to have a child support order enforced, a parent must first fill out an application with the ORS/CSS. The application can be filled in online or on paper. All documents should be sent to the following address:
