Our newest Driver of Change was recently featured in the August Social Determinants of Health Newsletter.

Our Mission: Working to ensure children receive consistent and reliable support from both parents.
Our Core Purpose: To help families thrive.
Our Vision: Transforming lives through the true power of child support.


The Ventura County Department of Child Support Services (VCDCSS) believes thriving families are the foundation of a vibrant and healthy community. They believe that children are our future, and raising our children takes both parents' love and support.

VCDCSS is committed to the health and welfare of all children and families. They understand the critical roles that parental, emotional, and financial support play in our children's well-being, helping them become healthy, productive, well-adjusted adults.

VCDCSS delivers important services, partnering with parents to help families establish parentage, set right sized orders, establish medical support, collect and distribute payments and reviewing orders for a modification without having to pay court filing fees or hiring an attorney. The Child Support Program increases family self-sufficiency, reduces child poverty, and positively affects children's educational achievement.

Child Support Awareness Month is a nationally celebrated campaign aimed to spread awareness about Child Support Services. The Ventura County Department of Child Support Services celebrates parents who support their children and the children who benefit from the support of both of their parents. Parents who pay support and parents who receive child support are building healthy foundations to help ensure their children thrive.
