Child Support Enforcement
Program Overview
The nation's Child Support Enforcement Program (CSE) is a federal/state/local partnership to help families by promoting family self-sufficiency and child well-being. This program is designed to place the responsibility of child support on the obligated parents in order to benefit children, return revenue to the public treasury and reduce state and federal costs in providing public assistance. CSE is administered by states and Native American organizations.
