Settling Your Case

Back to CSE

Either party interested in settling a child support case that we are handling in our office should contact the case manager assigned to the case. The best time to settle your case is immediately after receiving your court papers or notice of hearing. Our Legal staff will not negotiate directly with non-custodial parents but will confer with custodial parents as to the reasonableness of any settlement proposal. Cases may be settled at any time prior to the day of the final court hearing. To contact the case manager, call (941) 741-4039 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, Monday through Friday.
