Every child has a right to emotional and financial support from both parents. Under California law, anyone who becomes a parent automatically assumes the financial responsibility of providing for his/her child. Single mothers and fathers continually struggle with the serious and complicated challenge of raising their children. In many cases custodial and non-custodial parents work together to support their children emotionally and financially; however, some do not.
The Child Support Enforcement Program, authorized under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, provides services to assist parents in collecting child support and in securing health insurance coverage for their children.
Anyone living in El Dorado County, who has a child support and/or medical support order or wants to establish one, can apply for child support enforcement services by completing an application form. Application Forms are available on this website. Or, you can submit an Application using Turbo Court on-line for Child Support Services. The new electronic, online application TurboCourt is quick, easy and secure. Forms are available in English and Spanish.
