The Establishment of Child-Support Orders for Low Income Non-custodial Parents

This inspection focuses on the relationship between the payment of child support and order establishment practices for a subset of the non-custodial parent population — low-income non-custodial parents. This subset constitutes about one-third of the total non-custodial parent population. The goal of this inspection is to understand current methods of setting support for these non-custodial parents and to determine possible alternative methods to improve their payment rates.
