The Family Support Division serves the public by ensuring that children receive the financial support to which they are legally entitled. The Family Support Division is committed to providing timely, competent and professional services that are cost-effective and respond to community needs.
Every child has the right to emotional and financial support from both parents.
Single mothers and fathers continually struggle with the serious and complicated challenge of raising their children. In many cases, custodial and non-custodial parents work together to help provide both emotional and financial support to their children, but many do not. FSD is part of the District Attorney's office and is the local child support enforcement agency. Any parent caring for a child who cannot get needed support assistance from the other parent, is eligible for help. The Family Support Division provides its services free of charge to all custodial parents, whether or not they receive public assistance.
