Child Support Resolution Program

If parents reach an agreement:

1. One of the program staff helps prepare a consent order for the parents to sign.
2. It is sent for review and a signature by a Court of King’s Bench justice.
3. Each parent will get a copy of the signed consent order after a justice signs it.

If parents do not reach an agreement, they might:

• get more information about court processes, or
• be referred to other programs for help to resolve their child support issues

If you have not been directed to this program by a justice or a judge:

• both parents must agree to enter the program

If both parents agree to enter the program:

• go to Step 2

You must provide a sworn Disclosure Statement before attending the meeting. Some of the documents you need to make the Disclosure Statement include:

• your complete tax returns from the past 3 years
