South Carolina Child Support Enforcement and Collection
South Carolina Child Support Enforcement is a Division of the South Carolina Department of Social Services
Purpose
By establishing paternity and establishing and enforcing court ordered child support, the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) seeks to ensure that non-custodial parents live up to their financial responsibilities in the raising of their children.
Services Available:
- Locating the non-custodial parent whose whereabouts are unknown
- Establishment of paternity
- Establishment of child support and medical orders
- Enforcement of those orders
These services are available to any custodial parent who has physical custody of a child and who needs assistance in obtaining child support payments
Any non-custodial parent may apply to have genetic testing performed or to have an existing support order reviewed.
There are four Regional Offices for all establishment and enforcement activity based on where the non-custodial parent lives.
If the non-custodial parent lives in another state, the case is assigned to a Regional Office based on where the custodial parent lives. This method of assignment ensures that jurisdictional issues are satisfied and that enforcement remedies comply with state and federal law.
