Child support collections in this country have increased as a result of child support reform efforts. Collections increased from $8 billion in 1992 to $18 billion in 2000. Paternity establishments have tripled from 500,000 to 1.5 million during the same period. Despite this progress, two prominent problems still exist with the current child support system. First, collection rates on “current support” continue to be far too low. “Current support” is the amount that is due for the current month, as opposed to arrears (past due support) for previous months. Only approximately 59 percent of current support is paid in the United States.11 As a result, millions of low-income, custodial parents and children do not receive the child support they need to improve their financial security. About 26 percent of custodial parents and their children live below poverty, and about one-fourth of all custodial parents with child support agreements or awards and who are due support receive no child support at all.12
