Child Support Services
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower our families by promoting the sacredness of our children, by reaffirming the shared responsibility of parenting, and by honoring the traditions of the Tribe.
Our Vision
Our vision is for healthy children who are strengthened by the consistent emotional, physical, educational, social, spiritual, cultural, and financial support of their parents and the Meskwaki tribal community.
What We Do
MNCSS will provide a collaborative platform to address child support matters in an environment of respect, honesty, humility, and compassion. MNCSS assists families with the following:
- Locating absent parents
- Establishing paternity
- Establishing child support orders
- Modification of child support orders
- Enforcement of child support orders
- Referral to the Meskwaki Elders Circle and access to community support services
Meskwaki Elders Circle
The Meskwaki Elders Circle (MEC) helps families as referred by MNCSS and/or the Meskwaki Tribal Court. When using MEC, agreements are reached through consensus on how to best meet the financial and emotional needs of the family and their children. MEC works with MCNSS and a committee comprised of Meskwaki elders who have a strong base in tradition, culture and family. MEC offers mediation and community referral services to families receiving child support in confidential sessions.
