Child Support Services Division is employed by the public to collect and enforce child support obligations. We understand and sympathize with the financial and emotional challenges faced by split families. Our enforcement remedies are designed to encourage child support collections, as well as cooperation and communication with our field staff. When CSSD has not received complete and timely payments we may:
- Send a letter to the non-custodial party informing them payments have not been received;
- Wage garnishments if non-custodial parties are employed.
- Suspension of driver’s, professional, hunting and fishing, or other licenses;
- Interception tax refunds;
- Bank account and property liens;
- Passport renewal prevention;
- Pursuit of civil contempt through the court and a bench warrant.
CSSD’s goal is to encourage cooperation and compliance with court orders, not to punish non-custodial parties. If you believe the child support obligation is not fair, you are welcome to request a modification from your caseworker.
