child support enforcement
Child support enforcement refers to the legal measures taken to ensure that non-custodial parents fulfill their financial obligations to support their children. This process often involves government agencies that track payments, locate parents, and take action when payments are missed.
These agencies can use various methods to enforce child support, such as wage garnishment, tax refund interception, and even suspending driver's licenses. The goal is to provide financial stability for children and ensure that both parents contribute to their upbringing, regardless of their relationship status.
