"Amnesty Program" of Bureau for Child Support Enforcement - brochure
- The BCSE (Bureau for Child Support Enforcement) helps collect child support for the parents who are supposed to receive it. The "Amnesty Program" was created by the WV Legislature in an attempt to help obligors who have accumulated a large child support arrearage get the debt paid off. If both the obligor and the obligee agree, all the interest or a portion of the interest which has accrued can be forgiven. In exchange, the obligor must pay off the principal amount owed within 2 years. Learn more with this brochure.
