IV-D Program
The IV-D Program, also known as the Child Support Enforcement Program, helps ensure that parents provide financial support for their children. Funded by the federal government but operated by state agencies, it assists in establishing paternity, setting up child support orders, collecting payments, and enforcing court orders. The goal is to secure consistent financial resources for children's well-being, regardless of family changes or challenges. The program also helps both parents navigate their responsibilities and rights related to child support, promoting stability and ensuring children’s needs are met.
