• Fact of the Day
  Nearly Half of Parents Get Full Amount of Child Support
  

  About half (46.8 percent) of parents owed child support in 2007 received the full amount, while nearly one-third (29.5 percent) received only a portion of the total due and about one-quarter (23.7 percent) received none of the child support they were owed, according to a new national report from the U.S. Census Bureau. Of the $34.1 billion total child support owed, 62.7 percent was reported as received.

  For further details, see Custodial Mothers and Fathers and Their Child Support: 2007, [PDF - 109 KB]. This report focuses on the child support income that custodial parents reported receiving from noncustodial parents living elsewhere, and other types of support, such as health insurance and noncash assistance.
