Child support enforcement actions are taken to secure court-ordered financial and medical support for children and families. Automated enforcement actions, such as income withholding orders and tax intercepts, are mandated by law and apply to customers with past due child support balances. Discretionary actions, like civil contempt and judgment debtor exams, are used in limited cases where individuals have the ability to pay but choose not to comply with court orders. Customers who are compliant with their child support orders do not need to worry about enforcement actions, but it is important to communicate with the agency in case of any changes in circumstances. The agency is committed to working with customers and resolving issues without court action whenever possible. Contact Riverside County Child Support Services: 866-901-3212 or RivCoDCSS.com
