The Child Support Services Division (CSSD) is dedicated to establishing parentage and obtaining child support. CSSD focuses on this activity to encourage responsible parenting, family self-sufficiency, and child well-being as well as to recognize the essential role of both parents in supporting their children. The District’s child support program assures that assistance in obtaining support is available to children through locating parents, establishing parentage, establishing and modifying support obligations, monitoring and enforcing those obligations, and assisting with barriers to employment.
