Book excerpt: 'This urgently needed, groundbreaking book provides solid data that coincides with the real life stories I have been hearing for years from men and women nationwide regarding unfair child support laws and policies that have resulted in adverse effects on their children and families. I anticipate that this book will have a major positive impact on social policy and the general collective attitudes toward families in today's society. The information presented in this book must be read and understood by every policymaker to insure that child support policies are made just and fair so that all families can prosper.' - Dianna Thompson, National Family Justice Association, US The delinquent payment of child support by non-custodial to custodial parents is a major problem throughout the United States. To many observers, the problem is one of 'deadbeat dads' - men who simply will not make the required payments. The solution has been to enforce payment by the imposition of increasingly stringent civil and criminal penalties. Despite these efforts, the percentage of single mothers receiving child support has changed very little over the past twenty-five years. The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments investigates why this is, and approaches the payment of child support as an economic problem.

Book excerpt: "In February 2006 Sir David Henshaw was asked to lead a redesign of the child support system. A key recommendation of the review was that child maintenance should be disregarded up to a high threshold in calculating Income Support (IS), and that child support should be disregarded entirely in calculating Housing Benefit (HB) and Council Tax Benefit (CTB). In the White Paper 'A new system of child maintenance' published in December 2006, it was announced that the Government will significantly increase the amount of maintenance that parents with care on benefit can keep before it affects the level of benefit they receive. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned Frontier Economics to carry out a short review of the economic literature examining whether increasing the amount of maintenance that parents with care (PWCs) on benefit can keep will affect their decision to work and subsequently have an impact on employment rates."--P. 1.

Download or read book The Politics of Child Support in America written by Jocelyn Elise Crowley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political observers have long since struggled with understanding how new ideas are placed on the public agenda. In their studies, most social scientists have relied on biographical sketches and intensive case studies to explore the intricacies of innovation. Researchers have had much more difficulty, however, in moving from these individual success stories to more generalizable theories of entrepreneurship. This book builds such a theory by focusing on the critical issue of child support enforcement in the United States. Covering over a 100 year period, this book tracks the evolution of multiple sets of political entrepreneurs as they grapple with the child support problem: charity workers with local law enforcement in the nineteenth century, social workers throughout the 1960s, conservatives during the 1970s, women's groups and women legislators in the 1980s, and fathers' rights groups in the 1990s and beyond.
Download or read book Minimum Wage Increases and Child Support Payments written by Anita Louise Rocha and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2010 in the United States, approximately 11.3 million cases owed over $110 billion in back child support. The accumulated debt from unpaid child support may be due, at least in part, to non-custodial parents’ inability to afford it. The setting of order amounts relies on a set of assumptions which may not reflect the reality of low-income, non-custodial parents, like uncertainty in wages and intermittent workforce participation. Even attempts to improve economic conditions for the lowest-wage workers, like a local minimum wage increase, may have uncertain effects on non-custodial parents’ earnings and thereby, their ability to pay child support. Could a local minimum wage increase be followed by an alteration in the number of hours worked, earnings, and the amount of child support paid by low-income, non-custodial parents? Analyzing data from a cohort of low-income, non-custodial parents (NCPs) from 2010 through 2016, comparing those working in jurisdictions with local minimum wage increases (Seattle, Tacoma, and SeaTac) to those working in other areas of Washington state, findings from this study could inform policies to improve the economic outcomes for families that depend on financial support from non-resident parents. With Washington State administrative data from 2010 to 2016, I examine over 70,000 low-income NCPs, all of whom have active child support orders around the time of an increase in local minimum wages. As a longitudinal cohort study, I take a difference-in-difference approach to compare parents who worked in jurisdictions subject to local minimum wage increases to those who did not. Using interrupted time-series models with propensity score weighting, I examine outcomes involving hours worked, earnings, and child support payments before and after an increase in a local minimum wage. NCPs exposed to a local minimum wage increase results in a 5% decline in the chance of having any job in a quarter. They also see a 14-hour reduction in the expected mean number of hours worked per quarter. a drop averaging about 1 hour per week. Even with a small increase in expected mean hourly earnings of $0.05 per hour, NCPs subject to a minimum wage increase experience a decrease in overall expected earnings of $260 per quarter, about a $20 per week decline. Finally, there is a change in predicted percent of child support paid after a minimum wage increase, depending on NCPs’ earnings. Those earning less than $2,700 per quarter show as much as a 1% increase in child support paid, while those earning more have up to a 1% decrease. While many factors influence consistent and full child support payments, results in this study suggest that local minimum wage increases can lead to a decrease in hours worked, earnings, and child support payments among non-custodial parents, at least in the short-term. A decline in child support payments is only evident among those with higher earnings, and the change is small, approaching 1% of the order amount. Rather than statistical significance, my conclusions, therefore, rest on questions of practical significance. Will the magnitudes of these shifts in work hours, earnings, or child support payments tangibly change the level of resources available to children whose families are dependent on child support? This prompts a discussion of what constitutes substantive material support for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines why the child support system breaks down for so many low-income families, presenting information from interviews with unmarried mothers and fathers nationwide. Four chapters focus on: (1) "Introduction" (child support policy in California and nationwide); (2) "The National and California Child Support Systems" (California's system involves: opening child support cases, locating noncustodial parents, establishing paternity, establishing support orders, enforcing support orders, and modifying support orders and treatment of past-due support payments); (3) "Effects on Low-Income Parents" (deadbeat dads and responsible fathers, financial disincentives created by assigning child support rights to the state, responses to financial disincentives, family conflicts created by mandatory cooperation, formal payments versus direct or in-kind payments, responses to mandatory cash support, problems created by enforcement practices, and problems with the modification process); and (4) "Conclusions and Policy Options" (general changes such as raising the pass-through and establishing child support assurance, and specific changes such as setting awards as a realistic percentage of the noncustodial parent's income, forgiving or limiting arrearage, and recognizing informal support).
