What Child Support Can Do
When a child support case is opened, CSS can attempt to:
- Establish child/medical (health insurance) support orders.
- Attempt to locate biological or presumed parents.
- Establish parentage (paternity).
- Change child/medical support orders (order modification).
- Enforce child/medical support orders, including spousal maintenance (alimony) when it is
combined with child support
- Process payments through Colorado's Family Support Registry (FSR). The FSR processes payments for cases managed
by local county child support offices (IV-D) and cases that are not enforced by counties (Non IV-D).
Once an FSR account number is assigned to you, you will be able to register on the CSS website to view your
account information.
- Collect and distribute child support through income withholding, federal and state tax refunds,
lottery winnings and other enforcement remedies.
- Ask another state's child support agency to establish, modify, or enforce a
support order on your behalf (Interstate Case).
