摘要
There is enormous variation in the magnitude of child support awards obtained by using state child support guidelines. This variation does not result from cost-of-living differences across states. In many states, nominal and inflation-adjusted support awards declined between 1988 and 1991. Overall, noncustodial parents do not pay a fair share of the costs of raising their children. The article advocates making larger awards, expressing awards as a percentage of income, and implementing a child support assurance program.
