Title IV-D Program

Title IV-D is a federal program in the United States designed to ensure that children receive financial support from their non-custodial parents. It provides services such as locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and establishing and enforcing child support orders. Funded by both federal and state governments, Title IV-D aims to reduce public assistance costs by promoting responsible parenting and ensuring that children have the financial resources they need. The program is usually administered by state child support agencies, making it easier for custodial parents to receive proper support.
