Wisconsin county child support agencies provide a broad array of services that reduce childhood poverty rates, establish parental rights, ensure children have access to health care and promote the involvement of both parents in the lives of their children.
The mission of the Wisconsin Child Support Enforcement Association (WCSEA) is to provide training and networking to help local child support agencies best serve and aid the children and families of Wisconsin.
Last year, WCSEA members conveyed a need for additional program funding to Wisconsin’s legislators in the 2023-25 state budget for both local child support agencies and modernization of the state IT system. Governor Evers, the Joint Finance Committee, Senators and Representatives were instrumental in securing this request to better serve the families of Wisconsin and they have been presented with certificates of appreciation.
