Paying Child Support
- FAMILY SUPPORT REGISTRY; If you have an order for child support, maintenance (spousal/partner support), or child support combined with maintenance, and the Court has ordered that the payments be processed through the Family Support Registry (FSR), the Obligor must pay through the FSR.
- FSR accounts are set up automatically. You will receive a notice by mail with a unique FSR account number that will be used to process your payments. You may email the FSR at cdhs_fsrcustomerservice@state.co.us if you do not know your account number or have questions about the account.
