You've just received notice that after years of not being required to pay child support, DHS is coming after you for money. Often this occurs when a parent applies for state benefits. Perhaps you, as the non-custodial parent, aren't in a great place financially yourself. And now, out of the blue, you're being asked to provide. 

Times are tough, even for those fortunate enough to make an income that supports their families. With inflation still high and pockets of unemployment throughout the state,  more families seem to be struggling than ever. That being said, many families are applying for benefits through OKDHS.
