The provision of title IV-D child support services on Tribal Lands can be a challenge for both Indian custodial parents and their children who need child support, and for States who have the duty to administer a Child Support Enforcement program. Under title IV-D of the Act, authority to administer the delivery of support enforcement services lies with the States and their local political instrumentalities. However, on most Indian reservations the authority of State and local governments and the jurisdiction of State law is limited or non-existant.
