Office of Child Support

The Office of Child Support is a government agency that helps ensure children receive financial support from their non-custodial parents. It establishes, enforces, and modifies child support orders, helping to collect payments for custodial parents. The office may also assist with paternity testing and offer services to locate absent parents. Essentially, it aims to promote the welfare of children by making sure both parents contribute to their upbringing, helping to reduce the financial burden on single caregivers.
