Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline

Reporting child abuse can be scary, but if you are a witness to or a victim of child abuse there is a huge benefit to making the report yourself. Being able to tell your story first hand gives the child care worker much better information than if it came from someone not involved.

Department of Human Resources: The Child Support Enforcement Division

This program helps families establish paternity (when necessary), obtain court orders for payment of child support, and secure compliance with child support court orders.

Many women and their children fall into poverty or deeper poverty because the father pays little or nothing for the financial support of his children. Many of these men cannot afford to pay much, but they should pay something – the entire burden should not fall on the mother. A court order forces the father to pay something or else possibly face jail
