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 failed to implement the Child Support Act 1991 and subsequent legislation fairly leaving tens of thousands of non residential parents paying out more than they would if they had their children full time. The CSA was replaced in the long term by its successor launched in 2012, the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).
