Well Child support enforcement is just that, enforcement. it still falls on the child support agreement. If it's decided on by the divorcing couple, all Child support enforcement will do is
enforce what's on the agreement. If you go through the courts to decide, yes someone will always pay, of course. But that will be in court, prior to the enforcement dept. getting involved. Does that make sense?
i am speaking on this partially based on experience. I paid child support to my first ex for 12 or 13 years through the office of child support enforcement, it was best that way because it was taken out of my check automatically and easier that way. But still they weren't the ones to impose the amount, it was the paper work they worked from that was decided on in the divorce.
