To appeal a decision of the department, you must submit a written request for a hearing to the department within the specified time frame as stated in the notice. When appealing the amount of child support owed, you must include copies of documents to support your request.
The types of documents to submit may include, but are not limited to:
- New or amended court order, and/or
- Circuit clerk payment ledgers that may not have been previously provided.
Indicate in your letter that you wish to appeal the department's findings and include the reason you are appealing. Include in your letter and write the following on each of the supporting documents:
- Your name;
- The order docket number;
- Child support case number, which begins with the letter "C;"
- Your Social Security number; and
- The custodial parent's name.
If you are appealing more than one case, make sure the information for each case is written correctly on the supporting documents. Do not delay mailing your appeal if you do not have all of the documents to support your request, because you must file your appeal within the specified time frame from the date on the notice. If you do not provide any documentation prior to your hearing, the department will present your case to the hearing officer with the information that we currently have in our records. Without the documentation to support your appeal, your hearing could be delayed.
