The Child Support Enforcement (CSE) program provides services to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and enforce support obligations. People who receive assistance under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Foster Care, and Medicaid programs receive CSE services automatically. People who are not in assistance programs can apply for child support services and any support collected goes directly to them. Services are available to a parent with custody of a child who has a parent living outside of the home.

Please note that each state has its own application process. Select your state from the dropdown menu to get specific information on how to apply for child support, found here: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/parents/how-do-you-get-child-support/applying-for-child-support

Supportkids is the largest private child support collection company in the country offering an alternative to government agencies. Supportkids was founded because we recognized the need for another option for parents who are not receiving their court-ordered child support. With billions of dollars going uncollected, Supportkids offers an effective alternative for cases that fall through the cracks of traditional child support enforcement. In an ideal situation, child support would be paid on time, every month. Unfortunately, that is not the way it goes for far too many people. The government agencies are very effective at managing and distributing child support when it is paid voluntarily, but they often do not have the time or resources to follow up when a non-custodial parent stops paying or tries to avoid making payments at all. We believe that custodial parents should have the freedom to choose how they want to pursue their child support. If you are not getting the support you are owed, instead of waiting and hoping that something changes, take control by hiring Supportkids to work your case. We are proud to offer a service that supports custodial parents while they support their families.
