Support Enforcement Agencies

Support Enforcement Agencies are government organizations that help ensure that non-custodial parents make their court-ordered child support payments. They work to locate parents, establish paternity, and enforce payment obligations when necessary. These agencies may use various methods, such as wage garnishment or tax refund interception, to collect overdue payments. Their goal is to promote the financial well-being of children and support custodial parents in receiving the financial assistance they need for child-rearing. These services are typically provided at low or no cost to the custodial parent.
