At Sacramento County DCSS, our mission is to enhance the lives of families. We do this by helping parents stay involved in the support and well-being of their children. Studies show that having each parent involved in a child’s life improves overall well-being – they are likely to do better in school, have lower dropout and incarceration rates, go on to college and lead happier and healthier adult lives.
Each family is unique and we tailor our assistance to your specific circumstances and needs. For example, you might need help with genetic testing, establishing court orders, modifying child support amounts or facilitating the collection of payments. If you are the parent paying support, we can help if you’ve lost your job, your driver’s license or passport has been suspended, or you owe back support payments. Our services are free and we are here to help.
We understand that worrying about your children and money are major life stressors and navigating the complex legal system can be very challenging. DCSS is here to assist parents with navigating the child support system knowing it can be a complicated process. Now, with TurboCourt, filing for child support is easier than ever. TurboCourt is a simple, easy-to-understand web-based interface that guides applicants through the child support application process.
We are here to help you with your child support needs. You don’t have to do it alone. Let us be your partner – and your bridge to a world of possibilities.
