Child Support Enforcement Agencies

Child Support Enforcement Agencies (CSEAs) are government organizations that help ensure children receive financial support from non-custodial parents. Their primary functions include locating absent parents, establishing paternity, calculating child support amounts, and collecting payments. CSEAs work to enforce court orders, ensuring that parents fulfill their financial responsibilities. They assist in cases involving divorce or separation, aiming to promote the well-being of children by securing necessary resources for their upbringing. By doing so, these agencies play a crucial role in supporting vulnerable families and helping to reduce child poverty.
