The Miami County Child Support Enforcement Agency is dedicated to serve the families in our community by providing quality child support services. The CSEA recognizes a child’s right to be supported by both parents, and that a child benefits most when parents work together to provide for their child’s emotional and financial needs.
What CSEA Can Do
- Establish Paternity
- Establish Child Support, Cash Medical Support and Health Insurance Orders
- Enforce Child Support, Cash Medical Support and Health Insurance Orders

What CSEA Cannot Do

- Discuss a case with a person other than the custodial or non-custodial parent without written consent to release case-specific information to another party
