We recognize that children are our most precious resource, and we strive to uphold their rights and ensure that they receive the financial support they need.
Winn Parish Child Support Division operates under the guidance of the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). DCFS is responsible for establishing and enforcing child support orders, as well as providing assistance to custodial parents in collecting the support owed to them. Our dedicated team at Winn Parish Child Support Division works tirelessly to assist both custodial and non-custodial parents in navigating the complexities of the child support system.
Child support is a vital aspect of ensuring that children have access to critical resources, such as medical care, education, and basic necessities. We understand that raising a child is an expensive responsibility and that financial support from both parents is necessary to provide the best possible life for their child. Our division works diligently to help establish fair and reasonable child support orders, taking into account the income and financial circumstances of both parents.
In addition to establishing child support orders, Winn Parish Child Support Division is responsible for enforcing those orders. We understand that non-payment of child support can cause significant financial hardships for custodial parents and their children. Our division employs a range of enforcement measures to hold non-custodial parents accountable and ensure that the children receive the financial support they require. We work closely with local law enforcement agencies, as well as federal agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, to locate and levy the necessary income and assets of delinquent parents.
