CHILD SUPPORT
Child Support is a regular, ongoing payment made by one parent to the other parent to support a child. Child support payments are court-ordered. The amount of child support paid in North Dakota is based on criteria set by the North Dakota Department of Human Services.
A child support calculator can be found here. Courts typically rely on these calculations unless there are special circumstances. If a parent wishes to change the child support amount, this must be done through a motion to the court, which means the other parent must be served the motion.
Once a child support order is entered by a court, child support payments can be paid through the State Disbursement Unit. To make a payment, click here.
