What is the difference between child support orders issued
by the court and child support orders issued by CSSD?
Both the court and the Child Support Service Division (CSSD)
have the authority to issue child support orders. However, the child support orders come about
in different ways. The court must issue
a child support order when it decides the custody and visitation arrangement
for a child in a case involving divorce, dissolution, or custody between
unmarried parents. The CSSD issues an
order when one parent requests child support because the parents have split up
and the parent taking care of the child(ren) wants the other parent to pay
support for the child. Sometimes a
parent will have a CSSD support order and then file a custody case in court
later. If the court issues a child
support order that is different from the CSSD order, the court’s child support
order takes priority and replaces the CSSD order.
