The Mission of the West Virginia Bureau for
Child Support Enforcement is to promote and enhance the social, emotional and
financial bonds between children and their parents. The Bureau fulfills this
mission by:
- Establishing and
enforcing paternity, child support and medical support orders;
- Educating parents and
prospective parents;
- Having accurate case
management;
- Facilitating parent
responsibility to minimize taxpayer burden; and,
- Performing these
activities in a customer - friendly atmosphere.

When the relationship between a child's parents ends, it does not mean
that either parent's responsibility for that child ends. Both parents remain financially,
legally, and emotionally obligated to a child.
The Bureau for Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) is the State agency that helps the
person caring for child to collect child support from the child's other
parent(s).
The BCSE also helps divorced individuals to collect spousal support (also called
alimony).
