Timely payment of child support orders can be effectively organized with routine withholding of the amount from noncustodial parents' income. Reformation of the system is needed to keep up with the changes in society. Appropriate implementation strategies with effective monitoring devices will make the system more equitable. The Wisconsin example of child support reform exhibits the economic connection.

7. A comparison of incomes and expenditures of male-headed households paying child support and female-headed households receiving child support

Author

Subjects

Abstract

This study describes demographic characteristics, incomes, and selected expenditures of two representative samples--male-headed households who pay child support and female-headed households who receive it. It also explores differences in the amounts paid and received. The analysis is based on data from the 1985 Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Results show major disparities in the levels of living of these two samples, based on measures of per capita income and expenditures. On average, child support payments represent a small portion of both the payers' and recipients' incomes, suggesting that child support is not a major financial resource for children whose parents experience marital disruption.
