When the relationship between a child's parents ends, it does not mean that either parent's responsibility for that child ends. Both parents remain financially and legally obligated to a child no matter whether the parents remain together or not. The purpose of DC’s Child Support Services Division (CSSD) is to help the person caring for a child to collect child support from the child's non-custodial parent. CSSD also helps those who are divorced to collect spousal support. CSSD has trained professional staff that provides a variety of services to eligible persons.
