Child Support

The mission of the Child Support Enforcement Division (“CSED”) is to assist parents with obtaining the financial support necessary for raising their children, as mandated by both federal and local law. CSED aims to collect and timely distribute child support payments. This is done by establishing paternity of children; establishing and enforcing court orders for financial and medical support; and recovering welfare funds that have been paid on behalf of Guam’s children. Where appropriate, CSED promotes the emotional involvement of both parents in the life of a child. CSED also aims to accomplish these tasks efficiently in order to minimize taxpayer expense while also providing exemplary customer service.
