The Mercer County Child Support Enforcement Agency provides child support establishment, collection of support and modification of support.

Enforcement starts at the beginning of an order through mandatory income withholdings, if a source is available. Income includes wages from employers, unemployment benefits, workers’ compensation, social security benefits, disability benefits, bank accounts, and pensions. The CSEA enforces child support orders to ensure payments are made. For those in default on their child support payments, actions may include credit bureau reporting, occupational and professional license revocation, Ohio driver's license revocation, garnishment state and federal tax refunds or bonuses, and the freezing and seizing of an obligor's assets held by a financial institution.
