The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Division
The Child Maintenance and Enforcement Division (CMED) is part of the Department for Social Development (DSD).
On 1 April 2008 the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Division replaced the Northern Ireland Child Support Agency. Our role continues to be to make sure that parents who live apart from their children contribute financially to their upkeep by paying child maintenance.
We provide an impartial Information and Support Service to help parents make informed choices about child maintenance and offer practical information in areas linked to child maintenance; and
We provide a Statutory Maintenance Service to set up, arrange or collect child support maintenance for children whose parents live apart, an objective shared with the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission in Great Britain.
