Which act is Title IV-D part of?

Title IV-D is part of the Social Security Act. This federal provision creates and funds the national child support enforcement program, setting standards that states must follow when establishing and collecting child support, handling paternity, medical support, and intergovernmental enforcement. It’s federal law, implemented through state IV-D agencies that administer the program according to federal guidelines. The Family Code deals with state-level family law, not the federal child support program. The Civil Procedure Act covers procedures in court, and the Tax Code governs taxation—neither governs where Title IV-D sits.
