Federal Child Support

The Office of Federal Child Support Enforcement has branches in each state that custodial and non-custodial parents can use to find information and get unique services. For instance, custodial parents who are unable to find non-custodial parents can use this office to help them. Federal Child Support Enforcement uses the Federal Parent Locater Service to do just this. The office can also help custodial parents in establishing paternity, obtaining a court order so that the non-custodial parent must pay child support, enforce this court order so that the custodial parent actually receives the child support and much more. There is an official website individuals can use to find local services, or they can contact their local Department of Human Services to get in contact with the Child Support Enforcement Agency. This agency believes that it is both parents' responsibility to take care of the children they created and they help ensure that this is exactly what happens.
