General FAQs

How do I request a print out for my taxes?
You may call the FOC office and leave a message with your caseworker indicating a printout for taxes is needed, and whether or not you would like the P.O. left at the office front desk for pickup (I.D. needed) or mailed to your home address.

I can’t get time off from work; can I call in for my hearing?
Only if the hearing is in front of an Attorney Referee, at the FOC. You should contact the office if you are not sure. If YOU are being Show Caused your failure to appear for a Judicial Show Cause hearing will result in a bench warrant.

How do I cancel my USBank Debit card?
You will need to contact the MiSDU at the toll free debit card information line (1-877-464-3324) and you will then be asked to set up a direct deposit into a checking or savings account. Checks are no longer issued for Michigan Child Support Payments, unless you meet certain criteria, this information will be available at the above listed toll free number. A printable Direct Deposit form is available on our website, and should be mailed to the address listed on the form.

I don’t have a case yet, how do I get visitation rights and will I have to pay support?
Once an action is filed through the Court (Family Division) a hearing will be scheduled to make recommendations for Support, Parenting Time, Custody, and Medical.

Can I give payments directly to the custodial parent?
If you have a charging case through the Friend of the Court it is not recommended that you make any direct payments. All payments should be recorded through the MiSDU (Michigan State Disbursement Unit).
