The claim is that it is to support a child as if the child's parents continued to live together. Although of course, many times the child support might be much more than the child would have received had the parents remained together. Sometimes it is much less too. The only thing that is normally not covered is medical expenses.

The enforcement agency makes sure both that payments made are recorded and that they go to the person they should go to. In addition, they are empowered to followup on scofflaw parents who do not pay as required by the court order.

Answer

The purpose of child support enforcement is to require and empower states to collect child support payments.

The problems surrounding the collection of child support and the shortcomings in enforcement of laws regarding child support were acknowledged by the Senate in 1994 and it directed the Justice Department to address those problems. The default rate at that time was around 50%. In October 1994, the U.S. Congress's Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act became effective, enabling states to enforce and modify orders under certain circumstances.

Child enforcement efforts are administered through the departments Office of Child Support Enforcement. State agencies were empowered to enforce child support orders through such methods as wage withholding, interception of tax refunds, claims for arrears against a deceased parent's estate, liens on property, wanted posters, seizure of government bonds owned by the obligor, suspension of driver's license and incarceration.

1. Child support helps to ensure a minimum standard of living for the child.

2. Payment of child support helps to avoid spending public funds (i.e., tax money) to support the child.
