What happens if custody of my child is transferred to a public agency?

In this situation, both parents are obligated to pay support. The agency taking custody will file a Complaint with the Domestic Relations Section.

Note: Under the Federal and State law, all Support Orders on TANF (welfare) cases will be reviewed every three years.
