| Abstract | This brief relies on data from the National Survey of America's Families, a survey of 44,461 households, to examine the extent to which children receive money from and spend time with their nonresident parents. Part of the Assessing the New Federalism project, the brief also examines how much child support contributes to family income, whether child support reduces child poverty and income inequality, and whether additional child support enforcement efforts would really increase child support receipt among poor children. Averaged across all children and their families, child support appears relatively unimportant, a mere 2% of family income. But child support is an important source of income for children who receive it, and it becomes even more important when the child is poor. Child support lifts about half a million children out of poverty each year, reducing poverty among these children by 5%. Child support receipt varies by state, but child support enforcement has a long way to go regardless of the state considered. Increasing child support enforcement will be challenging, and it is difficult to estimate the impact on child well being of such efforts. (SLD) |
