KEITH HORTON NAMED NEW DIRECTOR OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES
ATLANTA (GA) - Keith Horton has been named the new Director of the Office of Child
Support Services (OCSS). Horton, who took the helm November 1, will be responsible for directing
child support services throughout the state which includes locating non-custodial parents, confirming
paternity, establishing and enforcing child support and medical support orders, and collecting and
distributing payments.
"I am pleased for the opportunity to manage the state's Office of Child Support Services," says
OCSS Director Keith Horton. "I stand firm in my objective of putting children first by promoting family
self-sufficiency and stability."
Horton was hired as Deputy Director of the Office of Child Support Services in 2006. He
replaces OCSS Director Cindy Moss, who retired on September 1, after nearly 30 years of service.
Horton is a Georgia native. He earned a Bachelors degree from Albany State College and completed a
Masters degree from South Carolina State University in Individual and Family Development. Keith
devoted a substantial amount of time to the military before retiring in June of 2006 at the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. Additionally, he devoted a portion of his off duty time to mentoring "at risk" young
men. Horton is married with two children.
