Child Support Services

A comprehensive Child Support Services Agency dedicated to the goal of providing benefits on behalf of children and families that will enable a stronger and more secure future for all generations to come. Our priority is to ensure children within our communities have the greatest opportunity to succeed. We believe the foundation for that success is based upon family strength and endurance. The Delaware Tribe of Indians Child Support Services works in collaboration with local, tribal, state and federal programs to address all issues affecting our children and families.

Just a few of the benefits when using a Tribal Child Support Agency:

  • **Paternity establishment ensures inheritance rights of children and accurate Tribal enrollment
  • **Tribal Court Jurisdiction allows more authority and flexibility in how cases are handled
  • **Knowing your case will be handled with cultural sensitivity

**There is no requirement of Delaware Tribal enrollment or for an American Indian affiliation to qualify for the services of this program.

Child Welfare

DO YOU KNOW OF A SITUATION WHERE DELAWARE CHILDREN ARE EXPERIENCING NEGLECT OR ABUSE IN THE HOME, BY ANY FAMILY MEMBER, OTHER RESIDENT OR OCCUPANT?

The Delaware Tribe of Indians advocates for safe and stable families and holds our children as our greatest asset. We strive to continue to serve Delaware Tribal families beyond our immediate service area, promoting a holistic approach to encourage mental, physical, and economic well-being.

Delaware Tribe provides services in support of five purposes which are:

  • Protecting and promoting the welfare of all Delaware children.
  • Preventing the neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children.
  • Supporting at-risk families through services which allow children, where appropriate, to remain safely with their families or return to their families in a timely manner.
  • Promoting the safety, permanence, and well-being of children in foster care and adoptive families.
  • Providing training, professional development and support to ensure a well-qualified child welfare workforce.

CW is funded by both federal and state grants. We work closely with tribal and state authorities to protect our Indian children. All information is strictly confidential according to federal laws.
