Title IV-D services are offered by the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS), a Division of the Department of Economic Security (DES). DCSS helps oversee Arizona's Child Support Enforcement Program and administer child support. 

To qualify for Title IV-D:

• The child or children are under 18 years old,
• The father must be established through either a paternity test or a non-contested birth certificate,
• If the parents were married, they are now separated or divorced and did not have a child support order established by the court, and
• Notice is given to both parents that child support will be established. If a parent cannot be reached after a certain amount of time, a default order is acceptable.

DES recommends applying for child support through their online AZCARES Child Support Customer Portal.

Customers also have the option to submit a paper application by completing the steps below.

1. Complete one of the following application forms.

   Follow the instructions on the application and provide as much information and as many documents as possible.

   Please note: If you are applying for services for more than two children with the same father, you must complete a Child Supplemental Page form for each child with the application for services.
