Our Core Values

At Kern County Child Support Services, our core purpose is to help families create a better life for children. Every action we take is guided by our mission and values and is reflected in how we work with families, our team members, and our partners.

Our department is focused on driving positive change, working together with respect and integrity, and striving to improve the lives of children and families through our commitment to trust, teamwork, communication, quality, and innovation.

This Child Support Awareness Month, we are honoring our commitment to building a future that is modern, fair, and focused on what matters most: the well-being of Kern County’s children and families. We are proud to share how we are evolving to meet the changing needs of today’s families while remaining grounded in our mission and values.
