Electronic Filing for Child Support Services
Dauphin County Domestic Relations (DRS) will utilize E-Services for electronic filing. Parents, caretakers/custodians, or attorneys can apply on-line for the following support services 24/7:
- File a child support complaint, spousal support, and/or alimony pendente lite (APL);
- Pay child support, spousal support, and/or alimony pendente lite (APL);
- Request modification on an existing child support, spousal support, and/or alimony pendente lite order (APL);
- Request a recovery an overpayment; or,
- Withdraw a complaint for support.
E-service filings will interface with the DRS child support system. The on-line filing date is effective after the DRS reviews and accepts the submitted E-services document.
E-services eliminates the need for paper filings and forms for the above services. Optional self-service filing using DRS computers is available in the lobby for individuals unable to access the E-service website. Lobby computers are available between 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Check-in is required at the counter before accessing the computers.
Additional information about E-services can be found on the Pennsylvania Child Support website at www.childsupport.state.pa.us or you may contact our office with questions at 717-255-2796.
