The Designation of Authorized Representative (G07) form allows a customer to name one person, age 18 or older, to act as their authorized representative on their child support case.
What the Authorized Representative can do:
- Receive information about the child support case
- Give information on the customer’s behalf
What the Authorized Representative cannot do:
- They cannot appear in court in place of the customer or sign documents on their behalf
- If the customer does not appear, the court may still enter an order without their input
Customers Under 18:
If the customer is under 18 years of age:
- They must designate an authorized representative
- They must appear in court with their authorized representative, parent, or next friend
- The authorized representative will continue to have access to case information after the customer turns 18, unless the designation is revoked or canceled in writing or by completing a new G07 form
Important:
- Only one authorized representative may be designated at a time
- The designation may be revoked or canceled at any time in writing or by submitting a new G07
- Until it is revoked or canceled, the authorized representative will continue to have access to case information
- CSS reserves the right to refuse to honor a designation of an authorized representative
- When CIC opens a case or receives a new referral on an existing case, the G07 will be sent only for cases involving minor parents. CIC will not send the G07 for all cases.
