<strong>Summary</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Support</strong> <strong>Order</strong><br />
<strong>Oklahoma</strong><br />
Child <strong>Support</strong> Services
<strong>Summary</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Support</strong> <strong>Order</strong><br />
What is the <strong>Summary</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Order</strong><br />
(SOSO)?<br />
It is a form that summarizes a child support<br />
order. It is completed and presented <strong>to</strong> the<br />
judge by the at<strong>to</strong>rney or non-represented party<br />
in the child support court action.<br />
Why does a SOSO have <strong>to</strong> be completed?<br />
State law requires that a SOSO be submitted <strong>to</strong><br />
the judge with all court orders which establish<br />
paternity or establish, modify or enforce a child<br />
support obligation when services are not being<br />
provided by <strong>Oklahoma</strong> Child <strong>Support</strong> Services.<br />
[43 O.S. §120] These are referred <strong>to</strong> as “Non<br />
IV-D” child support accounts.<br />
Is the SOSO form filed with the court?<br />
No. The form is mailed or faxed <strong>to</strong> the OCSS<br />
Central Case Registry at P.O. Box 248843,<br />
<strong>Oklahoma</strong> City, OK<br />
73124-8843, fax (405) 522-8901.
Can a paternity or child support order be<br />
signed by a judge without a SOSO?<br />
No. A SOSO must accompany each paternity<br />
or child support order when services are not<br />
provided by OCSS.<br />
[43 O.S. § 118 D (I)]<br />
Where can I find a current version <strong>of</strong> the<br />
SOSO?<br />

website at:<br />

Why does the form ask for Social Security<br />
numbers?<br />
Social Security numbers must be provided in<br />
order for child support payments <strong>to</strong> be<br />
identified with the correct case. [42 U.S.C. §<br />
