A Note About the Attorney-Client Relationship
There is no attorney-client relationship between the County Attorney and either
the parent or guardian. In child support cases, the County Attorney represents the
county's interests in having children adequately supported and in collecting current
and overdue child support. If your interests are ever different from the interests
of the county, the County Attorney will represent the county's interests You have
the right to your own attorney and may hire one at any time. You may also decide
to represent yourself. In paternity actions, if you cannot pay for an attorney,
you may ask the court to appoint one for you.
