Child Support Program Director's Message

Raising and supporting children is always a challenge. Being a single parent is even harder. Every day the Oregon Child Support Program helps more than 450,000 parents provide the financial and emotional support their children need while returning crucial funds to the public treasury. I am proud of this Program and the services it provides to improve the well-being of children, reduce reliance on public assistance, encourage family self-sufficiency and save taxpayer money.

The Child Support Program is one of the most cost-effective and efficient agencies in state government - a tribute to our Division of Child Support and District Attorneys' Office staff, who work long hours to help our youngest Oregonians.

As Director of Oregon's Child Support Program, my highest priority is improving the lives of Oregon's children. This includes improving how we communicate with our community partners and the people we serve. If you have suggestions for how we can enhance or improve the Oregon Child Support Program's website, please send your comments through our feedback form.
