Fathers Hidden From Support Aims to Cut Welfare Costs
Washington report notes millions of dads evade court-ordered child support. Since 1975 a federal state program pursues absent parents to collect payments and reduce welfare reliance. An estimate suggests 64 percent of divorced women with children lack full support, totaling about 10 million of 13.7 million single-parent children. In fiscal 1982, child support collections reached 1.78 billion, with only 10.1 percent of welfare children’s absent parents paying up.
