Preferred term

child support: social issues  

Definition

  • From the inception of laws and policies governing the payment of child support, complex social issues with passionate, and at times contentious, advocates have contributed to a volatile and constantly changing legal and politically charged atmosphere surrounding these issues. The complexity and diversity of how child support formulas are derived, along with the competing interests of mothers and fathers, obligors and obligees, and governmental responsibilities to protect children, have created a challenging environment surrounding child support.
