CORE Mission: Locate Parents; Establish Paternity; Establish Orders; Collect Support

DCSS cares about the families we serve. DCSS is committed to Family-Centered Child Support Services. Child Support serves one in five California children. Family-Centered Child Support Services means providing easy access to resources and information across a range of services that help families be safe and successful. This is consistent with the DCSS Strategic Plan 2010-2014 and our DCSS core values of commitment to children and families and cooperative partnerships. DCSS is providing links to programs that can assist with job search, fatherhood, family violence awareness and options for health care coverage. We hope that you find these links helpful as you access the services you need.
