Their mission was to improve the quality of life for children not receiving child support. Their goal was to reduce the state of Virginia’s $2.6 BILLION in unpaid child support. Their passion for child support advocacy and education led to the formation of Child Support Link in 2007.<br />Each founder had her own struggle with the child support enforcement bureaucracy, and learned how to navigate the child support enforcement system and receive their child support. These “three Musketeers” of child support, also worked with the General Assembly and Congress to improve child support laws. Working one on one with disadvantaged households, not receiving child support, these women are making a difference throughout Virginia; one child support order at a time.<br />BECOME AN ADVOCATE<br />Child Support Link encourages you to become an advocate for your children.
