Child Support

Laws current as of September 4, 2024

What can I do if the other parent is not paying the ordered child support?

The West Virginia Bureau for Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) is the agency in charge of enforcing court-ordered child support. You can contact them for more information on what steps to take next.

If you’d prefer to try to enforce the order yourself without going through BCSE, you can file an enforcement petition with the court. You may want to talk to an attorney before you file to help you decide what to do. You can find legal referrals on our Finding a Lawyer page.
