Child Access Services Outside of Service Delivery Area
The Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) works with service providers who offer resources for parenting time to parents with active cases. This is a voluntary program and is free to all parents. Parents will speak directly with an organization that will work with both parents to schedule visits between the non-custodial parent and the child(ren).

Self-help Legal Resources
Child Support Services and its child visitation providers do not offer legal services related to visitation. Legal services related to visitation include legitimation and the establishment of visitation orders. Legal help must be obtained from other resources. For those who want to consider filing an action in court on their own, below is a list of resources by county. These sites have forms, instructions, and information about legitimation and visitation.
