Kids. They're Worth Every Penny. Summaries of Reports by State Commissions on Child Support Enforcement. Final Edition.
Office of Child Support Enforcement (DHHS), Washington, DC.
The Child Support Enforcement Amendments of 1984 require that every state not qualifying for a waiver appoint a commission to look at the success of the state's child support enforcement program in securing support and parental involvement for all children needing such services, whether they were eligible for public assistance or not. This document contains state-by-state summaries of these reports, which address the topics of visitation; establishment of objective standards for support; enforcement of interstate obligations; availability, cost, and effectiveness of services; and need for additional state or federal legislation. Common themes of the states' reports are discussed in an executive summary. These themes include: (1) administrative and judicial organization (administration, courts); (2) child support (amount, modification, collection, enforcement, availability of services); (3) child custody; (4) visitation; (5) interstate enforcement; (6) paternity; and (7) public education and awareness. The appendices include lists of governors and commission chairpersons with their addresses. Seven states which volunteered to submit reports despite waivers are listed with names and addresses of contact persons. (ABL)
