Child Support

Laws current as of August 8, 2025

How will the child support be paid to me?

The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) of the Mississippi Department of Human Services can help you enforce your child support order. They also collect payments and distribute child support to families.

Payments are made electronically through the child support program. This means you can receive child support payments either through direct deposit into your bank account or onto a Way2Go Debit MasterCard. When a payment is collected, the funds are automatically deposited into your chosen bank account or debit card. Please note that some fees may apply when using the debit card.

You can find more information on the Division of Child Support Enforcement website.
