AUTHORITY

Income and Employment Supports Act (IESA), section 6(3)(d)
Child and Adult Support Services Regulation

INTENT

Child Support Services (CSS) helps single parents and parents of blended families negotiate child support agreements or obtain court orders. Agreements and orders may be registered with Alberta Justice for enforcement and collection to increase the likelihood that child support payments will be made.

The CSS program is based on the principles that children have the right to be financially supported by their parents, and that parents are responsible for supporting their children to the best of their ability.

POLICY

CSS is voluntary for Learners and they can independently request CSS services by contacting their nearest Child Support Services office.
