PREFACE The Chesapeake Community Services Resource Directory, 2005/2006 Edition, has been compiled for the citizens of Chesapeake by the Chesapeake Community Services Board. The directory is designed to assist in locating specific local and regional services available to Chesapeake citizens. Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy and to provide a comprehensive, diverse directory of community services. If you know of services not listed, or identify changes that should be made to specific listings for future publications, please feel free to let us know by sending in the Directory Update Form located at the end of this document. The preparers have not made a complete evaluation of the services and programs contained in this directory and the listings therefore do not indicate endorsement. The Community Services Board would also like to thank the Department of Human Resources, who provided a student intern to help complete this directory. In addition, we would like to thank the City of Chesapeake Manager s office and the City Council for providing the funding for the student internship program. Special Note: Unless otherwise indicated, telephone/fax/pager numbers listed in this directory are assumed to begin with the 757 area code prefix. Chesapeake Community Services Board

The applicant will be asked to supply information which will help locate the absent parent. There is no charge to the applicant. All child support which the state collects goes directly to the custodial parent. Child support payments may reduce the amount of ADC assistance a family receives. Child support currently ends when the child reaches 18, but this may be extended to 19 if the child is still in high school. The Division has many ways to collect: garnish wages, intercept state and federal tax refunds, put liens on property and tie up assets (such as bank accounts). In some cases, the state will prosecute. You may also get courtordered child support for your children by going to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Intake Unit in the city in county where the children live. If the absent parent lives out of state, call the toll free number (within Virginia) to obtain information about the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA)/Interstate child support enforcement process.
