The Connecticut Bureau of Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) provides a broad range of services for parents who are seeking to establish, enforce or make payments on child support orders. The Bureau of Child Support Enforcement, in addition to enforcing existing orders, will assist with establishing paternity for children born out of wedlock, locate an absent parent and create or modify child support obligations based on income factors of the parents and current obligations. The BCSE also provides a clearinghouse for collecting payments and distributing them to the custodial parent.
The State of Connecticut provides a way by which a parent receiving child support payments can access their account or sign up online for services. Colorado also provides a method by which parents paying child support can pay online and keep track of their child support obligation.

The Connecticut Child Support statutes set forth the parameters for requiring a parent to pay child support. Parents are obligated under the law to maintain support for their minor children after a legal separation or divorce according to their ability to pay. A parent is required to support the child financially until the child reaches 18.
