Child Support Enforcement

IV-D agencies nationwide

Child support enforcement is one of the most technically complex domains in government. IV-D agencies must manage the full case lifecycle, from paternity establishment through order modification, enforcement, collections, and disbursement, while maintaining real-time integration with a web of federal systems.

FCR, NDNH, CSENet, FPLS, e-IWO, the OCSE portal. Each interface has its own specifications, its own certification requirements, its own failure modes. Most state systems are decades old, held together with custom integrations that become institutional knowledge held by a shrinking pool of specialists.

Modernization in this space isn't just about a better user interface. It's about building a platform that treats federal compliance as foundational rather than bolted-on, that automates the complexity rather than just documenting it, and that can evolve as federal requirements change.

IV-D systems must maintain certified, real-time integrations with multiple federal systems, each with its own specifications and failure modes.
