The Garfield/Pitkin/Rio Blanco County Child Support Services (CSS) establishes and enforces child support court orders against non-custodial parents (parents who are out of the home) to help pay for the financial and medical support of their children. Child support collections eliminate or reduce the need for public assistance and help to repay the public assistance fund. Child support services are available to help mothers, fathers,  grandparents and other caretakers.

Types of services

• Location of alleged fathers (paternity not established)
• Establishment of paternity (legally establish the father of the child)
• Establishment of child support orders and medical support orders
• Determine if existing child support order should be modified at either parties request
• Enforce the child support order, medical order or child support combined with spousal support
• Establish and enforce support and medical support when one of the parties lives in another state
• Distribute and document child support collections through the Family Support Registry

CSS will determine the legal action necessary to establish, modify and enforce your order. The following are enforcement remedies that may be used depending on the circumstances of your case:
• Income withholding
• Driver’s license suspension
• Intercept Federal and State tax refunds
• Intercept unemployment benefits
• Intercept workman’s compensation benefits
• Place liens on personal and real property
• Report to the credit bureau agencies payment behavior and balances
• Suspend professional, occupational and recreational licenses
• Garnish bank accounts
• Contempt proceedings
• Passport denial
