Child Support Enforcement Programs

Child Support Enforcement Programs are government initiatives that help ensure non-custodial parents provide financial support for their children. These programs locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain court orders for regular payments. They also assist in collecting and distributing these payments, sometimes through wage garnishments or withholding tax refunds. The goal is to promote the child's well-being by making sure they receive consistent financial support, regardless of family circumstances. These programs collaborate with courts, employers, and other agencies to make sure child support obligations are met effectively.
