Rules for Providing Written Comments

We are looking for input only about the guidelines Maine uses to establish child support orders. That includes information such as:

• Are the guidelines readily available?
• What works well with the guidelines?
• What doesn't work well with the guidelines?
• Do you have any changes that you would like to suggest?
• Do you understand how your child support was determined?
• Do you feel your child support order is fair and reasonable?

Please do not

• include any other person’s name.
• write anything self-incriminating because we might have to report it.


We cannot respond to any questions about your specific case or about the guidelines. If you have a specific concern about your case, please contact the Division of Support Enforcement and Recovery (DSER) office nearest you. DSER office locations and phone number are listed below.
