Welcome to Lac Courte Oreilles Child Support Program
Our Mission: The Lac Courte Oreilles Child Support Program is dedicated to working in collaboration with all State, National and Tribal agencies and departments to maintain an effective program that will meet the needs of families, improve the welfare of children, and strengthen Tribal sovereignty. We make every effort to strengthen family responsibilities and values through quality service and cultural integrity.
​
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to enforce the child's right for support (financial, medical, emotional, and cultural) from both parents in order to raise the standard of living for Tribal children.
​
Program Goals
Our goals are founded in our commitment to families to ensure that paternity is established when appropriate; financial disputes between separated parents are minimized; and parents are held accountable to support their children in accordance with their resources and abilities.
