Does the division of child support provide support enforcement services if the CSO decides I have "good cause level A"?
If the community services office (CSO) grants you good cause level A:
(1) The division of child support (DCS) closes the case and does not take any action to establish or enforce support for the children covered by the good cause finding.
(2) If the noncustodial parent (NCP) applies for paternity establishment or support enforcement services, DCS denies the NCP's application for services.
(3) If the community services office grants good cause level A after the case has been referred to the county prosecuting attorney or attorney general's office, DCS advises the prosecutor or attorney general's office of the good cause finding.
(4) When DCS advises the prosecutor or attorney general's office that good cause level A applies in a case, DCS requests that the prosecutor or attorney general's office dismiss any action that has been filed and cease all activities to establish or enforce a child support obligation for the children covered by the good cause finding.
