Support Enforcement Agency

A Support Enforcement Agency is a government organization responsible for helping ensure that child support or spousal support payments are made as legally required. They assist custodial parents by locating non-paying paying parents, establishing or modifying support orders, and enforcing payment through various legal means if necessary. Their goal is to ensure that dependents receive the financial support they are entitled to, using tools like wage garnishment, bank account levies, or license suspensions. Essentially, they help enforce court orders for support to promote the well-being of children and families.
