Child Support Enforcement (CSE)

Child Support Enforcement (CSE) refers to programs designed to ensure that non-custodial parents fulfill their financial obligations to support their children. These programs help establish paternity, track down absent parents, and enforce court-ordered child support payments. CSE agencies work with various legal and administrative tools, such as wage garnishment and tax refund interception, to collect payments and distribute them to the custodial parent. The goal is to promote the well-being of children by ensuring they receive the financial support they need, regardless of their parents' relationship status.
