SOUTH CAROLINA Part 53

Enforcement of Child Support Obligations

Unfortunately, many non-custodial parents do not live up to their financial responsibilities to their children and do not pay their child support. State and Federal laws have given the Family Court and the Integrated Child Support Services Division (ICSSD) of the South Carolina Department of Social Services a number of methods to enforce a child support order. Bear in mind that these enforcement remedies are available in ICSSD cases only. If your case is not an ICSSD case and one of these remedies is appropriate, you must complete an application in order for the ICSSD to assist you.
