In dependency cases, you can pursue a child support order in either division of the Superior Court—the Family Division or the Juvenile Division. This flexibility exists because dependency matters are handled in the Juvenile Court, but child support is a family-law issue that may also arise in related proceedings (such as paternity or dissolution) that fall under the Family Division. Filing in either division ensures the court with the relevant jurisdiction can issue the support order without forcing a separate, duplicative action. The key point is that the filing is not restricted to one division; both divisions can handle it, depending on the context of the case.
