Child support agency is a legal entity that enforces court orders regarding financial support to be given for the benefit of children. However, there are several synonyms for this term, such as child maintenance service, child support enforcement agency, and child support collection agency. All of these terms refer to government organizations responsible for collecting and enforcing child support payments from non-custodial parents. While the name may vary from country to country, the goals and objectives of these agencies remain the same - to ensure that children receive the financial support they need to thrive and to hold non-paying parents accountable for their obligations.
