Experts Show "Crack" in Child Support System

According to the website Divorce360, a recent poll shows that custodial parents are not receiving their child support payments.

Almost half of the poll respondents, 43 percent, said they are not receiving one dime of court-ordered child support payments. The poll, conducted by GFK Roper and commissioned by the Divorce 360 website, also commented that just 25 percent of custodial parents are receiving their payments. Of the rest, 17 percent, are getting some of the payments, but not getting all they are due, 6 percent are fighting to get child support.

OK, that's 66% that are not getting support or not getting the full amount, 25% who are receiving their support. Where's the other 9%? Are they the people who have been lost in the state enforcement system?

You can read the entire report on the Divorce 360 web site. Be advised that some of the advice given by a former family law attorney and author suggests that:

“You need to get the child support paid through the state enforcement agency when possible so that they can make sure it is paid.”

Oh my!
