Contact the Family Responsibility Office (FRO) immediately to report changes in your financial situation

If you’re experiencing financial hardship that affects your ability to make support payments, taking prompt action is crucial. The Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is the primary agency to contact in this situation. They can help assess your circumstances and develop appropriate solutions.

  • Document your changed financial circumstances (job loss, medical issues, reduced income)
  • Contact the FRO to discuss payment plan modifications
  • Provide supporting documentation like pay stubs, termination notices, or medical records
  • Consider consulting a financial advisor or mediator for guidance
  • Keep making partial payments if possible to demonstrate good faith

Remember that ignoring support obligations can lead to serious consequences, including legal penalties. Working proactively with the FRO helps ensure a fair resolution that considers both parties’ needs.
