No matter what service you may need, the Department of Child Support Services must have all the pertinent facts and information to pursue your case successfully.

To apply for services, complete the Application for Child Support Services Packet and return it to the county child support agency in your area. Completed applications must be received by the local child support agency in your area to be processed. Individuals currently receiving CalWORKS are automatically referred to their local child support agency for services. If you are a CalWORKS beneficiary and have questions about your case, please contact your local child support agency.

There are several ways to obtain an application packet:

• Complete your Application Packet online using a program called TurboCourt. This is an independent program that asks questions designed to collect the necessary information to open and process a child support case. TurboCourt guides you through the process and provides helpful information along the way. It then places that information into the appropriate forms and electronically delivers them directly to the Department of Child Support Services so you don't have to mail or bring your forms in. There is no fee to use TurboCourt or to deliver your application electronically. To access TurboCourt, select this link:
