Recently, many political voices have indicated a strong desire to
track down absent fathers who have absconded without fulfilling
child support obligations to their biological or adopted children.
This renewed interest in deadbeat dads has resulted from a
recognition that the social welfare programs, which pick up the tab
for abandoned children, are contributing significantly to an
ever-increasing federal budget deficit. Meanwhile, in a large
number of cases, there simply isn't enough money for an absent
parent to maintain his own separate support and fulfill the support
obligations that the law requires. This book explores the history,
reforms, and consequences of child support in America. The authors
have included case studies as well as discussions on the
psychological consequences of separating families, effects of
divorce laws on the award of child support, contested paternity,
and child custody alternatives. They conclude with a discussion on
economic responsibility and the deadbeat epidemic. The book is
intended to empower the larger number of parents who are caught in
the midst of overworked agencies, discouraging tales, and the lack
of information that keeps them paralyzed from acting on their own
behalf.
