The Family Maintenance Enforcement Program
===The Family Maintenance Enforcement Program===
Although recipients can enforce orders and agreements for child support on their own, most of the time recipients will give that job to the [http://www.fmep.gov.bc.ca/ Family Maintenance Enforcement Program](FMEP). This a provincial government program under the provincial ''[http://canlii.ca/t/840m Family Maintenance Enforcement Act]'' which has been contracted out to an American company, Maximus (Themis) ― not that you'd know this from the government website.
FMEP is a free service for recipients that is largely funded by late fees and penalties charged to delinquent payors.
