Child Support Enforcement

Child Support Enforcement refers to the system that helps ensure that non-custodial parents fulfill their financial responsibilities towards their children. This government program assists custodial parents in obtaining regular child support payments, which are crucial for a child's upbringing. It can include locating non-custodial parents, establishing paternity, setting support orders, and enforcing payments through legal means such as wage garnishment or tax refund interception. The goal is to provide children with the financial support they need, promoting their well-being and stability, while also holding parents accountable for their obligations.
