Tennessee Child Support

In Tennessee, the Department of Human Services administers the Child Support Program. Offices are located across the state in all 31 Judicial Districts. The services are provided through local district attorneys, DHS staff, and private agencies. The Child Support Program provides services that promote parental responsibility to meet the financial needs of children and their families.


Title IV-D of the Social Security Act requires all states to have a child support program. The Child Support program is sometimes referred to as the IV-D program. If you receive services from your local child support office, your child support case is a IV-D case.
