Information for Parents

El Paso County custodial parents receiving public assistance (TANF) are automatically eligible for child support enforcement services at no fee. When custodial parents terminate from public assistance, El Paso County Child Support Services will continue to collect all current and past due money owed to the custodial parent. Current child support is collected until the child turns 19 years of age (or the custodial parent asks El Paso County CSE to stop), and we will continue to collect any money still owed to the Colorado public assistance fund or arrears owed to a custodial parent.

El Paso County parents not receiving public assistance may apply for child support enforcement services to establish and enforce child support orders (whether the order was entered in the State of Colorado or not) for a fee of $20.00.
