San Diego, California, Interstate Child Support Lawyer
Get Experienced Legal Advice About DCSS and Interstate Child Support
The Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) is our state's program that ensures that child support payments to custodial parents are kept up-to-date, including support payments made from residents of other states. In addition, the DCSS works with agencies in other states to ensure that California residents who have support obligations keep their payments current.
Military clients welcome. I offer a free telephone consultation.
DCSS laws relating to child support and interstate enforcement are a complex set of statewide and national regulations that can leave parents reeling. If you are involved in a legal matter involving child support or DCSS support payments, talk to an experienced family law attorney who understands how regulations will affect your payments. If your driver's license or other license is threatened for nonpayment, I can help you restore your license.
