What is the Colorado Family Support Registry? (FSR)

The Colorado Family Support Registry (FSR) is a free service that provides information about child support as well as access to a system that allows for the payment and enforcement of child support orders. The Child Support Enforcement Unit (CSE) can work with you to help obtain the enforcement of unpaid child support. The registry is free and easy to use so you should definitely consider using the system.

 

 

  1. Who can use the Colorado Family Support Registry?

Both parents involved in a child support case can use the FSR to access information about payments, track payment history, and submit or receive child support payments. This includes custodial and non-custodial parents.

 

  1. How does the FSR benefit parents in child support cases?

The FSR offers several benefits for parents involved in child support cases:

  • Provides a centralized platform for tracking and managing child support payments.
  • Acts as a neutral intermediary between parents, which can be helpful in high-conflict situations or cases involving domestic violence.
  • Offers admissible evidence of payment history for court proceedings.
  • Provides customer support for resolving issues or answering questions.

  1. Where can I find more information about the Family Support Registry in my county?

Many of Colorado’s counties have their own websites with information about the FSR and child support services. Examples include Douglas County, Jefferson County, and Arapahoe County. You can find links to these websites and more information on the FSR/CSE website.
