Child Support Services
The Arizona Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) provides services to parents and caretakers who receive child support as well as parents who pay child support. Some of the services include obtaining a child support order, collecting child, medical and spousal support from parents who have a court order, and helping unwed parents establish paternity for their child.
DCSS Mission: Provide timely child support services that are in the best interest of the child. #HelpingFamilies

Yearly Fee Change for Custodial Parents
Under federal law, DCSS is required to charge a yearly fee on cases where the custodial parent has never received public assistance and has received $500 of support within the federal fiscal year (October 1 – September 30). Effective October 1, 2019, the fee will increase from $25 to $35, and the minimum amount of received support to which the fee applies will increase from $500 to $550. Custodial parents may be charged more than one fee each year if they have more than one applicable case.
