Boulder County Child Support Enforcement Unit

Enforcement of child support orders

After an order is established and the non-custodial parent is located, the CSEU will do everything possible to ensure that payments are received by the custodial parent as consistently as possible.

Under most circumstances, the CSEU will enforce a child support order that already exists.  Applicants who already have a child support order need to provide three certified copies of their order along with their application for services.  Some of the payment collection options include:

• Wage Withholdings

• Intercepting State or Federal income tax returns

• Garnishment of unemployment compensation benefits or workers compensation

• Intercepting Lottery winnings

• Automatic monthly payments deducted from a bank account. 

Certain situations may require us to take enforcement actions to affect payment of a child support obligation.  Some of the enforcement remedies available include:

• Drivers license suspension

• Professional license suspension

• Recreational license suspension (hunting or fishing licenses)

• Legal contempt of Court proceedings
