Child support
payments are received and receipted by the Michigan
State Disbursement Unit (MISDU) in Lansing. A check is
then mailed to the payee or funds are electronically
transferred to a payee's bank account by MISDU.
To check on child support payments you may call 1-877-543-2660. When calling this number for the first time you will need to set up a PIN number. You should have your social security number and court docket number available for the first time call. Please have a four digit number in mind for the PIN number you will be setting up. If you have set a PIN number in the past and have forgotten it, please call our office and we can send you the form to set up a new number.
Our goal is to get child support for children and to get both parents involved in their children's life.
