August 2020 is Child Support Awareness Month

The Town of Marana joins the nation in recognizing August as Child Support Awareness Month, and reaffirms its commitment to strengthening Arizona’s families by providing child support services to improve the economic stability and well-being of children. The State of Arizona will always be a committed advocate for our children, whose safety and security remains top of mind.

A child who receives emotional and financial support is more likely to feel safe and secure, and is better equipped with the courage to be their very best in life. The Department of Economic Security Division of Child Support Services (DCSS), is robustly committed to putting Arizona’s children first, and to humbly serve Arizonans with excellence, respect, integrity, and kindness, as well as be an overall champion for economic growth and opportunity.

DCSS is a strong advocate for shared parenty responsibilities, because parents and children benefit when both parents are engaged with their child at every stage, regardless of marital status. Strengthening individuals and families with an emphasis on fiscal responsibility promotes the safety and well-being of children, provides stability, improves the lives of children, and provides opportunities for families to be able to enhance their children’s future.

Child Support Awareness Month salutes diligent parents who spend time with their child and who make regular child support payments to safeguard their children’s future. Therefore, the Mayor and Marana Town Council recognize the month of August 2020 as Child Support Awareness Month.
