Jefferson County Child Support Services is raising awareness about the importance of child support during August, National Child Support Month, to assure that children are financially cared for and to let our community know what services are available through the Federal Child Support Program. Our goal is to partner with parents so that they can meet the financial and emotional needs of their children and to connect parents to additional community resources. 

The Mission of the Colorado Child Support Program is to assure that all children receive financial and medical support from each parent. This is accomplished by establishing paternity and support obligations, modifying existing orders as appropriate and enforcing orders. Most program actions are conducted administratively without the need for court hearings. Any custodial or non-custodial parent can request services. A one-time application fee of $20.00 will start the process.

“Parents who want more information on the services available, including the Fatherhood Initiative, are encouraged to contact us,” says Debbie Moss, program manager.

Presently, with a staff of fifty and an average of five volunteers/interns at any time, about twelve thousand families have active cases. Recent accomplishments include 142 paternities established and almost 600 new child support/medical support orders established during the last six months. Almost $16,000,000 in child support payments has been collected during the same time period.
