The '''Child Support Agency''' ('''CSA''') was a delivery arm of the [[Department for Work and Pensions]] (Child Maintenance Group) in [[Great Britain]] and the former [[Department for Social Development]] in [[Northern Ireland]]. Launched on 5 April 1993, the CSA was to implement the [[Child Support Act 1991 (UK)|Child Support Act 1991]] and arrange payments for parents living with their children.<ref name="laws-1">[http://www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/specialist-guides/law-volumes/the-law-relating-to-child-support/ The Law relating to Child Support] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130525060156/http://www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/specialist%2Dguides/law%2Dvolumes/the%2Dlaw%2Drelating%2Dto%2Dchild%2Dsupport/ |date=2013-05-25 }} - Department for Work and Pensions</ref>  The CSA was abolished and replaced in 2012 by its successor, the [[Child Maintenance Service]] (CMS).
