Gov. Scott Walker designated August 2016 as Child Support Awareness Month in Wisconsin, according to a press release from the Wisconsin Child Support Enforcement Association.

Child support has been known to create economic security for Wisconsin children and families. It helps parents collect support and non-custodial parents prepare and find employment

County child support agencies in Wisconsin collected $639 million in child support in 2015., according to the press release.

“Every child deserved to grow up with the resources necessary to lead a successful and productive life, WCSEA President Janet Schutz Nelson said. “Wisconsin’s child support program ranks third in the nation for collecting current child support.”

Currently, 71 county child support agencies provide services that can assist families by establishing paternity for fathers of children born outside of marriage, establishing a child support or medical support order, enforcing or modifying an existing support order and by referrals for job services.
