The Child Support Services Division encourages responsible parenting, family self-sufficiency, and child well-being by providing assistance in locating parents, establishing paternity, establishing, modifying, and enforcing support obligations, and obtaining child support for children. It is free to apply for these services.
Our goal is to create a system where children can count on their parents for the financial and emotional support they need to be healthy and successful.

NEW CHILD SUPPORT SYSTEM
DSS and Clerks of Court are moving to a new child support system over a 10-month period, beginning October 2018. The new system will include child support cases receiving services through DSS as well as private support cases enforced by the Clerks of Court.
