Pennsylvania Child Support
In Pennsylvania, child support cases are handled by the Bureau of Child Support Enhancement (BCSE) – a division of the Department of Public Welfare. Many services are offered to those families who qualify, including:
Locating the non-custodial parent
If you need to locate the parent responsible for support before you
can begin the process of establishing a child support order, then the
BCSE may be able to help. By relying on numerous resources (like IRS
data, credit bureau information, new hire reporting directories, etc.),
BCSE may be able to locate the non-custodial parent.
Establishing paternity
BCSE helps mothers who need to establish legal paternity for their children in order to receive financial support.
Establishing a court order
BCSE can walk you through the process of pursuing a child support
order. This includes obtaining information from both parents and
investigating to determine how much each parent is able to pay.
Helping with other matters related to child support
In addition, BCSE can help custodial and non-custodial parents review
and modify child support orders, collecting and disbursing child
support payments, and cooperating in interstate enforcement of your
support order.
