The Office of Child Support Services' (OCSS) primary mission is to ensure that non-custodial parents provide financial support for their children. Our services include locating absent parents, establishing parentage and support, collecting and distributing child support payments, and modifying and enforcing child support orders.

The OCSS Division of Enforcement Operations is responsible for ensuring child support orders are appropriately enforced. This is accomplished through various enforcement processes including suspension of driver's licenses, passport denial, property executions against any financial institutions, garnishment of wages and outreach to non-custodial parents to provide information and make referrals to address their barriers to paying support.

Within the Enforcement Operations Division, the Special Investigations Unit works hard to enforce cases where the non-custodial parent's child support obligations are not successfully enforced through the administrative process. These cases require individualized investigative efforts to discover and document the concealed income or assets, and to proceed with criminal or contempt proceedings for willful non-payment of child support. The Unit also handles special projects involving non-custodial parent barriers to payment, including history of incarceration, homelessness and other special populations.

Under the general supervision of the Executive Director of Enforcement Operations, with wide latitude for independent initiative, judgment, and action, the Administrative Director, M-I (Social Services) manages a team of child support specialists on a wide range of matters including investigations, identification and preparation of non-paying cases for local or Federal prosecution, special projects to identify and obtain collections from difficult-to-collect child support obligors, performing investigations of a wide range of cases including those that are hard to enforce and may require criminal proceedings and noncustodial parents with barriers to payment. The manager is also responsible for planning and coordinating various special projects and initiatives to assist both custodial and noncustodial parents and to implement new child support enforcement strategies.

The Office of Child Support Services' (OCSS) is recruiting one (1) Administrative Director of Social Services, NM-I to function as a Director of Special Investigations who will:

Provide management oversight and direction for the day-to-day operations of a unit made up of four (4) Supervisor I's responsible for identifying, reviewing and investigating hard to enforce child support cases.

Ability to think and act creatively on hard to enforce child support cases where the noncustodial parent is evading child support and concealing assets.
