Idaho Child Support Services

In Idaho, Child Support Services (CSS) – a division of the Department of Health and Welfare – handles matters relating to child support. Idaho law declares that children deserve the economic benefits of both parents even if the family unit is not still together. Designed to protect children of divorce and ensure that they receive the same amount of care as if their parents were still married, CSS can do the legwork to ensure that a non-custodial parent pays child support, among other things.

CSS offers many services to parents. It can help you:

• Locate a non-custodial parent
• Establish paternity
• Establish child support requirements
• Enforce child support payment
• Ensure medical support is provided
• Modify a child support order
