Child Support

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses and analyzes the 1996 essay, "Small Change: Problems and Prospects in Child Support" by A.H. Beller, which highlights the issue of children being the intellectual capital of the future and suggests that any society that wishes to safeguard the socioeconomic well-being of its future generations needs to ensure that appropriate and adequate investments are made in the education and overall welfare of its children.

From the Paper:

"Leading from the above findings, Beller discusses the measures already in place to strengthen enforcement such as: the provisions in the "Family Support Act" of 1988 to make the use of award guidelines by states mandatory, the provision for review and adjustments of award guidelines, and the requirement of Social Security numbers of both parents in the issuance of birth certificates; and the imposing of criminal penalties on noncustodial parents who cross state lines to avoid paying child support."
