National Child Support Program

The National Child Support Program is a federal initiative in the United States designed to ensure that non-custodial parents contribute financially to the upbringing of their children. It helps establish, collect, and enforce child support payments, so that children receive the financial support they need from both parents, regardless of their living arrangements. The program works through state agencies to locate parents, establish paternity, and set up support orders. Its goal is to reduce child poverty and ensure that all children have access to the resources necessary for their growth and development.
