State and local child support agencies implement policies to establish fatherhood, set realistic orders, collect payments, and reduce child support debt. These child support programs also develop innovative strategies to improve the well-being of children.
Each state and tribe manages cases and operates its child support program based on individual state, tribal, and federal regulations.
