Reagan signs tough child support law
President Reagan signed a national child support measure designed to recover about four billion dollars yearly by withholding wages 30 days in arrears and extending enforcement across states. The act promotes payment and visitation, with liens, credit reporting, tax refund interception, and interstate enforcement, while critics from Fathers United for Equal Rights protest lack of visitation safeguards.
