How does the Child Support Services Division (CSSD) become involved in a case? Should CSSD be involved in this case? My client receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), does she have the right to be involved in this case?

Are these questions you have asked? If so, we hope this program can provide you some guidance and better knowledge of how CSSD works.

This program will provide an overview of how a case becomes known to CSSD, CSSD's role in government and private domestic relations cases, paternity and support matters, use of administrative and judicial enforcement tools, and the collection processes.

  1. Brief overview of CSSD and its function
  2. What is a IV-D Case?
  3. Differences between a IV-D Case and a Non-IV-D Case
  4. How to Convert a Non-IV-D Case to a IV-D Case
