This data collection is comprised of responses from the March and April installments of the 2006 Current Population Survey (CPS). Both the March and April surveys used two sets of questions, the basic CPS and a separate supplement for each month.The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment.In addition to the basic CPS questions, respondents were asked questions from the March supplement, known as the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) supplement. The ASEC provides supplemental data on work experience, income, noncash benefits, and migration. Comprehensive work experience information was given on the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old and older. Additional data for persons 15 years old and older are available concerning weeks worked and hours per week worked, reason not working full time, total income and income components, and place of residence on March 1, 2005. The March supplement also contains data covering nine noncash income sources: food stamps, school lunch program, employer-provided group health insurance plan, employer-provided pension plan, personal health insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS or military health care, and energy assistance. Questions covering training and assistance received under welfare reform programs, such as job readiness training, child care services, or job skill training were also asked in the March supplement.Respondents were asked supplemental questions in April about the economic situation of persons and families for the previous year. All household members 15 years of age and older that are a biological parent of children in the household from an absent parent were asked detailed questions about child support and alimony. Information regarding child support was collected to determine the size and distribution of the population with children affected by divorce or separation, or other relationship status change. Moreover, the data were collected to better understand the characteristics of persons requiring child support, and to help develop and maintain programs designed to assist in obtaining child support. These data highlight alimony and child support arrangements made at the time of separation or divorce, amount of payments actually received, and value and type of any property settlement.The April supplement data were matched to March supplement data for households that were in the sample in both March and April 2006. In March 2006, there were 4,635 household members eligible, of which 1,453 required imputation of child support data. When matching the March 2006 and April 2006 data sets, there were 190 eligible people on the March file that did not match to people on the April file. Child support data for these 190 people were imputed. The remaining 1,263 imputed cases were due to nonresponse to the child support questions. Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income. Data on employment and income refer to the preceding year, although other demographic data refer to the time at which the survey was administered.

In 2017, the average amount of child support received by custodial parents from their noncustodial counterparts stood at 3,431 U.S. dollars. This is a decrease from 2015, when this figure stood at 3,567 U.S. dollars.

This handbook describes the basic steps to follow to establish paternity, to obtain a support order, and to collect the support due.

This data table provides the number of children in the child support caseload.

This data table provides distributed collection data for California child support cases. The data is sorted by counties and categorized as Current or Former Public Assistance, or Never Assisted types, and consists of cases where the child is or has received public assistance (AFDC, TANF, Foster Care, or Medicaid only), or are receiving child support services only without aid.

This statistic shows the number of American single mothers who have taken custody of their own children and who were awarded child support between 1993 and 2011. In 2011, approximately 6.3 million custodial mothers in the United States were awarded child support.

Office of Child Support Enforecment (OCSE) Story Behind the Numbers - Child Support Fact Sheet #3. This fact sheet focuses on data reported in a recent U.S. Census Bureau report, Custodial Mothers and Fathers and Their Child Support: 2011. The data reported are estimated based on a biennial survey of custodial parents, the Child Support Supplement to the Current Population Survey, March/April 2012, co-sponsored by the Office of Child Support Enforcement. The proportion of custodial parents living below poverty line continues to increase in 2011. The report found that 4.2 million custodial parents lived in poverty in 2011, representing 29 percent of all custodial parents, about twice the poverty rate for the total population. These statistics reinforce the essential role that child support services can play in helping low-income families, especially during an economic downturn.

The federal child support tables set out the amount of monthly child support payments for each province on the basis of the annual income of the spouse ordered to pay child support (the “support payer”) and the number of children for whom a table amount is payable.

This data table provides the basic information for California child support cases, such as number of cases per county, the number of cases where the child is currently receiving public assistance, number of cases where the child formerly received public assistance (but no longer does), and the number of cases where the child has never received public assistance. The data is sorted by county and broken into the Current Public Assistance, Former Public Assistance and Never Assisted types, the table will also show the percentage of that county’s total caseload.

The Child Support Program data is made up of a range of child support statistical information on:\r \r •\tprivate collect cases and cases collected by Services Australia\r \r •\tcare arrangements and collection method\r \r •\tmedian annual assessment amount\r \r •\tpayers and payees circumstances\r \r The data will be updated and published quarterly.\r \r Note: 09/05/2024 there will be revisions to the June 2023 data, available soon.

The paper studies the effect of having to pay child support on work incentives in five datasets including the PSID. For identification, I exploit the end of child support when the children involved reach emancipation age. Empirically, child support paid drops to near zero on emancipation (as expected); fathers correspondingly increase their work hours and annual earnings. The PSID constitutes one of several datasets used in the paper. PSID data extracts are in this repository (to satisfy contractual obligations); other datasets and analysis codes are on the journal replication kit repository.

The percentage of child support payment represents the share of child support dollars collected of those owed for minor children in Santa Clara County from Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015 to FFY2022. It is a federal performance measure tracked and reported by the State of California Department of Child Support Services. It is a direct indicator of the Department of Child Support Service's ability to increase collections. This number is benchmarked against the state average to compare this Department's performance against other counties in California.
