The Dallas County Child Support Office is responsible for receiving child support payments as ordered by the Family and Juvenile Courts and, by maximizing use of high tech equipment, recording and disbursing these payments in the most timely manner possible to help maintain the standard of living for recipient children and spouses. The office also monitors delinquent payments and fees and contacts payors concerning the consequences of these delinquent payments.

An automated information system is available to answer most of your questions, including recent payments made by the payor, the date, and the amount of the payment. You should have your Dallas County Child Support account number available (a six digit number) and know the last four digits of your social security number. Just dial (214) 653-7584, (press 1 for Spanish), press 2 for your payment status, then press 1 and enter your account number and press the # sign. Next enter the last four digits of your social security number and then press 1. Please be patient. There is a very high volume of calls to this line.

At this time, Dallas County Child Support does not have an enforcement function. If you are behind in receiving your child support payments, you should seek help from your attorney.
