Non-custodial parents are responsible for paying all of the ordered child support.  

The District of Columbia child support guidelines are used to determine the amount of child support owed by the non-custodial parent. 

CSSD has two tools that allow customers to obtain information about their case(s) without needing to speak to a CSSD customer service representative.

CSSD has many ways to collect child support if it is not paid voluntarily.  CSSD will use all remedies it determines necessary to help the custodial party get child support payments.

CSSD cannot guarantee that payments will be received on a consistent basis.

Access to the CSSD Mobile App will be available for Android and IOS devices.
