Child Support Services

To protect the health of the community, Child Support Services has closed its lobby for all direct customer services, including Genetic Testing Services and the Family Law Facilitator, through May 3, 2020. Our drive-up payment window will remain open weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.  

The Contra Costa County Superior Court is currently scheduled to remain partially closed through April 30.  Please check their website for details of their partial closure at www.cc-courts.org.
