abstract: 'Changes in family demographic patterns and the erosion of the social
safety net have contributed to the centrality of child support as a
source of income for many families. Many custodial mothers and their
children rely on child support to meet basic needs; yet, most do not
receive all of the support they are owed. Given the importance of child
support as a financial resource for many families, and the gap between
child support owed and received, understanding why some fathers do not
meet their formal support obligations is important for improving the
well-being of children in single-parent families. This article
contributes to the evidence base on barriers to compliance with formal
child support obligations by the sharing perspectives of noncustodial
fathers struggling to find work and pay child support. Data were
gathered through focus groups with noncustodial fathers conducted for
the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration. Results
indicate four types of factors contributing to noncompliance: (1)
practical impediments, including income constraints, high-burden orders
and obligations to other children; (2) system-imposed barriers; (3)
noncustodial father preferences; and (4) prior interactions with the
child support system. Findings from this study suggest a number of
policy changes that could help facilitate compliance among struggling
noncustodial fathers. These include access to services to help overcome
practical barriers to work; administrative and statutory changes within
child support to help address high burden orders, enforcement actions
that impede employment, and state-owed arrearages; and changes to TANF
pass-through policies.'
