Support Information

Support Petitions

The Domestic Relations Section of the Butler County Family Court is responsible for establishing support orders and for seeing that those orders are enforced.

E-Services

As an easy way to submit information to the Domestic Relations Section, the Pennsylvania Child Support Program created E-Services.

E-Services can be used by parents, caretakers/custodians, and attorneys who want to:

• Receive child support and/or spousal support
• Modify an existing support obligation (child, spouse or APL only)
• Pay child support and/or spousal support
• Receive overpayments on active or terminated cases

Visit the Pennsylvania Child Support website for more information about E-Services or to apply for services online.
