Family Responsibility Office

Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is a government agency that is required to enforce, i.e. collect, all child and spousal support orders and/or agreements dealing with child or spousal support. The parties can withdraw and pay the child or spousal support directly to the person to whom it is owed. For those who are worried about getting paid on a regular basis, this government agency will automatically garnish the support payor's paycheck. The problem is that a person usually has to wait 3-6 months before they start receiving any of the support that he or she is entitled to.
