Kentucky child support handbook

Welcome to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services' (CHFS), Department for Income Support (DIS), Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Web Page.  CHFS recognizes that children are our greatest natural resource, that individuals and their families are the most critical component of a strong society and that each must be afforded a safe, secure and nurturing environment.

The Child Support Enforcement Program's mission is to provide leadership in protecting and promoting the well being, self sufficiency and independence of Kentuckians through partnerships with others in the delivery of comprehensive family services.

We hope the addition of on-line manuals to the CSE Web Page will be beneficial to you in your pursuit of promoting family stability and reducing the public's responsibility for supporting financially abandoned children.
