Adding convenient options for paying child support is important to DCS!

Starting November 15th, DCS will be switching to ExpertPay as the online payment processor for child support payments. ExpertPay is a fast, simple, and secure way to
make child support payments by credit or debit card, ACH, or PayPal. ExpertPay charges fees for their services. Child Support does not receive any portion of these fees.

Visit expertpay.com/obligorapp/#/fee to learn more about the fees. There will continue to be options with
no cost to you including mailing in a check or paying by cash or check at your local DCS office.
