Welcome

Welcome to the Domestic Relations Department of Delaware County that serves as the County’s child support enforcement agency under the supervision of the Court of Common Pleas.

We assist parents in obtaining the financial support necessary for children to grow and succeed in life.

The Domestic Relations Department prepares petitions for both child and spousal support; establishes paternity for children born out of wedlock; establishes and enforces support orders; and locates absent non-custodial parents.
