HB 2462
House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 29, 2025
An Act Establishing a National Child Support Enforcement System Under the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Defining Child Support as a Legally Enforceable Obligation, Prescribing Mechanisms for Its Determination, Collection, and Enforcement, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The proposal would create a new government bureau under DSWD to locate parents who owe child support, issue wage‑withholding orders and other enforcement actions, and provide free legal help to poor custodial parents. It defines child support as a legally enforceable duty, gives the bureau quasi‑judicial power to issue and modify support orders, and sets a three‑month arrears threshold that triggers stronger enforcement.
