The Multiple Scandals of Child Support
K.C. Wilson
Most people believe that the current child support enforcement measures are both warranted (if not long overdue), and effective. The Multiple Scandals of Child Support is a very thoughtful examination of all the issues, facts, and figures. If anyone found out the truth, they'd be shocked.- Fewer single mothers are getting less child support than in 1978.
- All measures of compliance with child support orders have been in decline for two decades. A steep decline during the 1990s.
- Both the House Ways and Means Committee and Urban Institute have called child support enforcement ineffective. (Perhaps, counter-productive.)
- In 2000, the U.S. spent $4.5 billion to reclaim $2.6 billion of welfare money.
- Custodial mothers are not required to contribute to the costs of their children.
- The inability to pay is no excuse for not paying. Neither is jail, physical disability, a comma, nor being held hostage by Saddam Hessein.
- Three companies are making a killing on the latest growth spurt of the already $600 billion-a-year Divorce Industry.
And,
"If fathers knew the foundation for their monthly child support payments, there'd be rebellion. It's absolutely absurd." — John Guidubaldi, D.Ed., researcher.
There's much more. Do you know what has really been going on with child support over the last two decades? Not what the media reports nor what everyone wants to believe, but what has really been being done and happening, and why? The same things have been happening in all Western countries. A lot of people would be shocked — if they knew — especially those faithfully paying child support. See the Table of Contents for all of what is covered.
Part I is “Just the Facts.” The numbers from both the Office of Child Support Enforcement and the Census Bureau are listed and analyzed. Unlike with the media, they are neither masked nor couched. Dozens of other resources are cited, and all are immediately available on-line. This alone makes it invaluable. (Copies of all cited material are kept on the publisher's website for direct access from the book.)
But Part II is the analysis: Why have we been chasing this phantom bogeyman at all? What is behind it? It's not a conspiracy if we've all joined in, but something odd is going on. Something — maybe several things — are other than what they appear.
