Mark your calendars to join the Chickasaw Nation Department of Child Support Services during the month of August to celebrate Child Support Awareness month.
"The Chickasaw Nation works hard to provide the best opportunities for children and families," said Governor Bill Anoatubby. "By taking part in Child Support Awareness month, we can continue to keep children and families our top priority."
Bring your friends and family to celebrate during the following events:
Child Support Awareness month is nationally recognized each year during the month of August to focus on the importance of providing financial support for children. Child Support Awareness month recognizes child support professionals and parents who are committed to making a difference in the lives of children emotionally and financially.
In an effort to create awareness in the Ada area, the Chickasaw Nation Department of Child Support Services is once again conducting its tribal child support awareness campaign known as "I love my child."
Each year millions of children nationwide are affected financially due to parental separations. To help combat those statistics, the Chickasaw Nation Department of Child Support Services is cracking down on unfulfilled child support obligations by assisting families in the state of Oklahoma.
In 2009, the Chickasaw Nation Department of Child Support Services collected and distributed more than $3.4 million in child support; established or acknowledged paternity for more than 1,600 children and established new child support orders for more than 1900 families. The Chickasaw Nation Child Support Services program continues its efforts to improve and exceed previous accomplishments in the upcoming year.
