The primary purpose of the Sacramento
County Department of Child Support Services is to
collect child support payments for custodial parents.
Various activities are undertaken to achieve this
objective including: locating absent parents, establishing
parentage, obtaining court ordered child support awards
including medical insurance, and collecting payments
pursuant to the award. Services are available to both
assisted and un-assisted families. Our services are
available to all parents and children and include:
IMPORTANT: We
cannot legally assist with custody and visitation orders,
property settlements, dissolutions, restraining orders,
or establishing spousal support orders. We serve the
public interest and do not represent either parent or
the children - if a parent wishes to be represented,
she/he may contact a private attorney or legal aid agency.
