Maintenance Enforcement Program

The Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) is a government initiative designed to ensure that parents who are required to pay child support fulfill their financial obligations. When a parent fails to pay, the MEP can take actions such as garnishing wages, intercepting tax returns, or suspending licenses to enforce support payments. This program aims to protect the welfare of children by ensuring they receive the financial support they need from both parents, even if they are no longer together. It provides a structured way to handle payment disputes and helps maintain accountability for non-custodial parents.
