Indiana is unusual in that child support services are provided by elected county prosecutors operating under a cooperative agreement with the state Child Support Bureau, rather than by state or county human services staff.
The state Bureau sets policy and runs the statewide case system (ISETS), but who you actually work with — and where — depends on which county's prosecutor's office is handling the case.

How to Apply for Child Support in Indiana
A parent or caretaker of a child applies for Indiana child support services through the prosecutor's office in their county. Families already receiving TANF or Medicaid in Indiana are typically referred for services automatically.
The application requires identifying information for both parents and the child, along with any existing custody or support paperwork. The county prosecutor's office then works to establish paternity if needed and get a support order in place.
How to Collect Child Support Payments in Indiana
Indiana collects most support through income withholding once an order is active. Custodial parents receive payments through Way2Go, while noncustodial parents can pay through the EPPICard portal.
Payment history is available through the ISETS Child Support Payment History login, regardless of which county prosecutor's office is managing the case.
Missed Payments & Enforcement
Because services are delivered by county prosecutors, enforcement contacts and specific tools in use can vary by county — Indiana's site directs families to their local DCS/prosecutor office for case-specific enforcement action.
As in every state, federal law allows a passport to be denied or revoked once past-due support exceeds $2,500, and standard tools like tax refund interception and license suspension are available statewide.
