The Commonwealth of Virginia believes that every child has a right to receive support from both parents. Many times this right is violated when parents who aren't living with their children don't provide them the kind of financial care they are entitled to.

Because the lack of adequate child support is a national concern, Congress passed a law in 1975 requiring every state to create an agency responsible for a child support program in that state. In Virginia, that agency is the Department of Social Services, which includes the Division of Child Support Enforcement.

Since 1975, the Division of Child Support Enforcement has been able to help custodial parents and their children in many ways. In 1984, Congress passed additional laws which give the division even more authority to work on the problem of absent parents who fail to provide for their children's needs.
