Formed on January 1, 1988, The Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) is a Federal, State, and local partnership responsible for the collection and enforcement of administrative and court ordered support payments. Under the direction of the Board of Lake County Commissioners and programmatic direction of The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the CSED is administered locally. The CSED assists families and children in meeting their diverse child support and other related needs in order to promote self-reliance, family stability, and child safety.
