Description

The Child Support Directors Association (CSDA) is proud to present the 2025 Legal College—our flagship legal education event designed to support and elevate legal professionals in the evolving field of child support. With the theme “Traversing the Changing Tides of Child Support,” this year's college focuses on navigating recent changes in child support law, recognizing the evolving legal landscape. The event aims to promote dynamic, interactive discussions and the exchange of timely, practical information to foster collective understanding and forward-thinking solutions.

CSDA is a leading institution for child support in California, and the Legal College reflects our mission to promote legal excellence, foster professional collaboration, and strengthen cross-agency partnerships throughout the state.

The Legal College is more than a training—it’s a space to build connections and strengthen collaboration across the entire child support community, including local child support agencies, legal advocates, policy leaders, and partner entities.
