Bureau for child support enforcement

The Bureau for Child Support Enforcement provides many services for parents. It will help establish paternity, establish initial support payments, secure payments from out of state parents, review and modify support orders when necessary, and help enforce timely payment of child support.(See Virginia child support and divorce in Virginia too)

If a parent falls behind in payments, this government division will first notify the obligated parent that they are behind. If the parent does not make a payment in a reasonable amount of time the Bureau may then take more drastic steps to secure the money due to the minor child. It may contact the delinquent parent’s employer and have the employer withhold a portion of the parent’s salary specifically for child support.

It may also take IRS tax refunds and divert those payments for child support or it may hold the delinquent parent in civil or criminal contempt of court. All of these services are provided in order to help provide a strong financial base for all children involved in a divorce settlement.
