Tracking down the CS enforcers

[c_alexander]

I have been looking around to find out more about who exactly creates policy for child support enforcement and who is responsible for providing the states with federal funds for the collection of support. I have not YET found much and would like to ask for help from anyone out there that might be able to provide me more info about this. Thanks

This is what I found:

Remember, these are recommendations, not guidelines. The latter would
required that the law be changed.

One thing that is most telling is the sharp divide in opinions collected.
Obligees (aka Moms) consistently state that they want more money and
shouldn¹t be held accountable for anything ­ while expecting the Obligor to
be responsible for every possible cost. The Obligors (aka Dads) tend to
have more reasoned opinions, recognizing that both parties should share
responsibility.

Oh, and take the time to look at the structure of the committee ­ talk about
a stacked deck.

There are some reasonable recommendations, but the basis for increasing
the level of child support is flawed.
