SOUTH CAROLINA Part 34

Any custodial parent (CP) residing in South Carolina, who has physical custody of a child and needs assistance in obtaining child support payments, may apply to the South Carolina Department of Social Services, Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) for services.  A non-custodial parent (NCP) may apply to have paternity established or to have his/her support order reviewed.

CSED will help you locate the non-custodial parent (NCP), establish paternity (legal fatherhood) if needed, establish and enforce child support payments and ask that the NCP provide health insurance if available.  If you already have an order for child support but are not receiving payments, CSED has many tools available to help you with enforcement of your order including contempt proceedings, tax intercept and license revocation.
