Safely Pursuing Child Support
When parents experience domestic violence, safety is a primary concern, especially if they decide to pursue child support. Survivors need safe opportunities to disclose information to their child support office. OCSE and its partners help parents to safeguard sensitive information. Adjusting child support services to meet the survivor’s circumstances or risks helps give peace of mind and access to greater financial stability.
