Our mission, vision and values encompass a fervent desire for each parent to be able to be the best person they can be. For children, this means providing financial, emotional and ethical support.

Our mission is to establish paternity and support orders and to enforce those support orders as efficiently as possible, while providing excellent customer service.

We, as a Department and as individuals, are dedicated to:

• Establishing Paternity
• Establishing Child Support Orders
• Collecting Child Support and Arrears
• Cost-Effectiveness

The best customer service we can provide is collecting and distributing 100% of all child support due each and every month. If the parent is in custody or has suffered a decrease in income, our department will ask the court to adjust the child support. If the parent has an increase in income, our department will ask the court to adjust the order to reflect reality. If the parent needs job training, our department will refer that parent to the appropriate agency to obtain training.

The Department faces many challenges and opportunities. Working together, focusing on children, we will succeed.
