Arizona Child Support Enforcement and Collection Information
The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) is managed under the Arizona Department of Economic Security. They offer various services for the parent wishing to establish and enforce a child support order. The DCSE helps to locate absent parents and works with other states to locate non-custodial parents to enforce Arizona court orders.
Because children of divorce, never-married parents, or separated families are at greater risk of not having health insurance coverage the Arizona courts and DCSE program require that health insurance coverage be provided for children when establishing a child support order. Either the mother or the father will be listed in the support order as the person who must provide health coverage. Medicaid is considered public assistance and is secondary to private health coverage plans. If the children are on Medicaid, the parent ordered to supply health coverage is still held responsible to provide other health coverage.
