Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the U.S. child support collection system was set up in 1975 under President Gerald Ford -- a child of divorce whose father failed to pay court-ordered child support -- the country, and the typical family, looked very different from today.

Book Synopsis The U.S. Child Support System and The Black Family: by : Demico Boothe
Download or read book The U.S. Child Support System and The Black Family: written by Demico Boothe and published by Full Surface Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases existing problems within the African-American community that are exacerbated by its over-reliance on a very flawed child support system. Bestselling author and social critic Demico Boothe shares his personal story of being wrongfully convicted of a crime, being sent to federal prison, and coming out of prison only to have to immediately deal with a hostile child support system that seemed intent on sending him back to prison over money he didn't have. Boothe shares how the current child support system poorly served him and his family and identifies and analyzes many areas within the system that need fixing. Boothe identifies racism, emotionalism, anti-male feminism, and profit motive as the main driving forces of the U.S. child support system, not the bettering of the welfare of children. Upon finding that unemployed and underemployed black fathers are disproportionately the recipients of the worst punitive actions that the system has to offer due to economic and racial reasons, Boothe decided to pen a book about it, hoping to shed some much-needed light on this issue. Important facts and in-book points of discussion about the U.S. Child Support System and the black family: Over 115 billion dollars is currently owed to the government in back child support and associated fees, mostly by poor black fathers The U.S. Child Support System began formation in the early 1800's and was originally designated for white women only, and has since only been updated to incorporate more punitive enforcement actions that are now levied disproportionately against poor black fathers The Child Support System has been instrumental in the much-talked-about breakdown and dwindling of the two-parent black family household since the late 1970's The Child Support System prioritizes payments over parentage when it comes to fathers, while nearly 70% of all black children in the U.S. are raised in households headed by single women The U.S. Child Support System actively serves as a form of probationary surveillance on poor fathers The U.S. Child Support System is openly anti-family and anti-male The American Feminist Movement - which started in the early 1800's as a white-women-only movement that sought to create more economic parity and equity between white men and women - is largely responsible for the anti-male slant within the U.S. Child Support System The U.S. Child Support System helped create the false "Deadbeat Dad" stereotype that the mainstream media often only relegates to black men The U.S. Child Support System helped create the "Bitter Baby Mama" syndrome in the black community Federal and state governments reap multilevel economic profits via the U.S. Child Support System
Book Synopsis Child Support Defense by : Robert W. Rushing (Jr.)
Download or read book Child Support Defense written by Robert W. Rushing (Jr.) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The child support system is unfair and victimizes those who learn this fact too late. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to arm yourself with facts, and insure that the process is fair to you. This book can save you thousands of dollars, and the endless headaches that come from making disastrous legal mistakes. It discusses every stage of the child support enforcement process from beginning to end, and is loaded with information that can make a real difference. It also includes a summary of the child support process and law for each of the fifty states. Without the benefit of legal advice, men who may or may not be parents are encouraged and even pressured to sign documents acknowledging paternity of a child, without ever being told that they are waiving valuable legal rights. They are not told that they are waiving their constitutional right to paternity testing forever. They are then ushered through a hurried process with the sole emphasis being documenting their income and creating a legal obligation to pay. They are not even told that the social worker who is typically guiding them through the process is effectively in the child support business. His or her job is to collect as much money for the custodial parent as possible and to do it quickly. The process by which a child support obligation is instituted and enforced has a financial impact on a equivalent to buying a house or a car. Arguably, the impact is far more, since the payments will often go on for a longer time, and failure to make them will possibly result in imprisonment, a result much worse than foreclosure. Yet, every week, thousands of men show up for child support hearings in every state armed with nothing more than a few old pay stubs. A man has an obligation to support his child, but also a right to question whether he is the parent of the child. He also has a right to have his support payment set at an amount that is fair and reasonable, so that he can continue to pay his bills and other obligations, and enjoy life. This book was written based on the experience of twenty five years practicing law, and several more as a university professor. While there is no substitute for legal advice about your unique situation, this book will help you.

Book Synopsis The 1991 Child Support Act by : Leanne McCarthy-Cotter
Download or read book The 1991 Child Support Act written by Leanne McCarthy-Cotter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the 1991 Child Support Act and demonstrates how its failure was ‘foreseeable’ and ‘foreseen’. It provides an understanding of the creation, and failure, of the Act, as well as providing an examination of the British policy-making process. The book re-introduces the ‘stages approach’ as an appropriate framework for examining policy-making in general, and analysing policy failure in particular. It draws on evidence gained through interviews, official documents, unpublished consultation responses, Parliamentary debates, and materials from pressure groups and think-tanks, as well as academic literature. The 1991 Child Support Act is seen as one of the most controversial and notorious policy failures in Britain. However it has received relatively little academic attention. An in-depth analysis of the policy-making process that led to the development and passage of this deeply flawed policy has largely been neglected: this book fills that gap.
Book Synopsis Assuring Child Support by : Irwin Garfinkel
Download or read book Assuring Child Support written by Irwin Garfinkel and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1992-09-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock childbirth are climbing so dramatically that over half of the next generation is likely to spend part of its childhood in single-mother families. As many as half of these families will live in poverty, caused in large measure by the failure of current government regulations to secure adequate child support from absent parents and to assure minimum support when parents cannot provide it. Assuring Child Support introduces the Child Support Assurance System, a remedy to this problem that is both feasible and affordable, a practical reform that is within the nation's grasp. "An extremely well-written and provocative book." —Eastern Economic Journal
Book Synopsis The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments by : William S. Comanor
Download or read book The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments written by William S. Comanor and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This urgently needed, groundbreaking book provides solid data that coincides with the real life stories I have been hearing for years from men and women nationwide regarding unfair child support laws and policies that have resulted in adverse effects on their children and families. I anticipate that this book will have a major positive impact on social policy and the general collective attitudes toward families in today's society. The information presented in this book must be read and understood by every policymaker to insure that child support policies are made just and fair so that all families can prosper.' - Dianna Thompson, National Family Justice Association, US The delinquent payment of child support by non-custodial to custodial parents is a major problem throughout the United States. To many observers, the problem is one of 'deadbeat dads' - men who simply will not make the required payments. The solution has been to enforce payment by the imposition of increasingly stringent civil and criminal penalties. Despite these efforts, the percentage of single mothers receiving child support has changed very little over the past twenty-five years. The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments investigates why this is, and approaches the payment of child support as an economic problem.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Child Support in America by : Jocelyn Elise Crowley
Download or read book The Politics of Child Support in America written by Jocelyn Elise Crowley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political observers have long since struggled with understanding how new ideas are placed on the public agenda. In their studies, most social scientists have relied on biographical sketches and intensive case studies to explore the intricacies of innovation. Researchers have had much more difficulty, however, in moving from these individual success stories to more generalizable theories of entrepreneurship. This book builds such a theory by focusing on the critical issue of child support enforcement in the United States. Covering over a 100 year period, this book tracks the evolution of multiple sets of political entrepreneurs as they grapple with the child support problem: charity workers with local law enforcement in the nineteenth century, social workers throughout the 1960s, conservatives during the 1970s, women's groups and women legislators in the 1980s, and fathers' rights groups in the 1990s and beyond.

Book Synopsis Will Child Support Court Increase the Frequency and Amount of Child Support Paid by Non-custodial Parents? by : John Simpson
Download or read book Will Child Support Court Increase the Frequency and Amount of Child Support Paid by Non-custodial Parents? written by John Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The child support system in the United States has grown in the last century from a system that was strictly one of local control to a system of federal, state, and local coordination. The federal government has mandated wage withholding, interception of taxes, suspension of driver's licenses, suspension of professional licenses, and other penalties on those who do not pay their child support. But the local level (local state courts) has wielded the most drastic sanction of incarceration for failure to pay child support. The incarceration sanction came under scrutiny in the recent case of Turner vs. Rogers (2011), with the U.S. Supreme Court hinting that attorneys may have to be appointed in child support arrearage cases for indigent non-custodial parents. If attorneys must be appointed, this sanction will be too expensive. Judge Kristin Ruth in Raleigh, North Carolina has pioneered a problem solving court approach to collect more child support and to treat those in the court more humanely. Following the lead of Judge Ruth, Carroll and Coweta counties in western Georgia, created a child support court to obtain better results for the men, women, and children who are impacted by the child support system.

Book Synopsis Fathers Under Fire by : Irwin Garfinkel
Download or read book Fathers Under Fire written by Irwin Garfinkel and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important and highly informative collection of studies on nonresidentfathers and child support should be of great value to scholars and policymakers alike." —American Journal of Sociology Over half of America's children will live apart from their fathers at some point as they grow up, many in the single-mother households that increasingly make up the nation's poor. Federal efforts to improve the collection of child support from fathers appear to have little effect on payments, and many critics have argued that forcing fathers to pay does more harm than good. Much of the uncertainty surrounding child support policies has stemmed from a lack of hard data on nonresident fathers. Fathers Under Fire presents the best available information on the financial and social circumstances of the men who are at the center of the debate. In this volume, social scientists and legal scholars explore the issues underlying the child support debate, chief among them on the potential repercussions of stronger enforcement. Who are nonresident fathers? This volume calls upon both empirical and theoretical data to describe them across a broad economic and social spectrum. Absentee fathers who do not pay child support are much more likely to be school dropouts and low earners than fathers who pay, and nonresident fathers altogether earn less than resident fathers. Fathers who start new families are not significantly less likely to support previous children. But can we predict what would happen if the government were to impose more rigorous child support laws? The data in this volume offer a clearer understanding of the potential benefits and risks of such policies. In contrast to some fears, stronger enforcement is unlikely to push fathers toward. But it does seem to have more of an effect on whether some fathers remarry and become responsible for new families. In these cases, how are subsequent children affected by a father's pre-existing obligations? Should such fathers be allowed to reduce their child support orders in order to provide for their current families? Should child support guidelines permit modifications in the event of a father's changed financial circumstances? Should government enforce a father's right to see his children as well as his obligation to pay support? What can be done to help under- or unemployed fathers meet their payments? This volume provides the information and insight to answer these questions. The need to help children and reduce the public costs of welfare programs is clear, but the process of achieving these goals is more complex. Fathers Under Fire offers an indispensable resource to those searching for effective and equitable solutions to the problems of child support.
