Child Support Enforcement

The Child Support Enforcement Division is responsible for establishing and enforcing child support orders, helping families to meet their expenses and remain self-sufficient.

We work to:

• locate absent parents
• establish parentage and support orders
• enforce support orders to ensure time payment of needed child support

Enforcement of the support orders requires a multi-faceted system involving State and local government agencies, court systems, employers and the public. Cases undergo continuous investigation to ensure the timely collection of needed support money.
