Child support enforcement is a topic of major concern for millions of our children and for society as a whole. Nonreceipt of child support has serious financial implications for children living without one biological parent, including children of divorce. It also has serious financial consequences for our welfare system. An examination of the child support enforcement system reveals that it is currently in need of revision despite attempts at improvements in the past. Six key issues with regard to reform are discussed; however, there is disagreement as to whether a state-based approach, a federal approach, or some combination of the two should be used to accomplish reform. Recommendations as to what should be changed are offered by the author.
子女抚养强制执行是数以百万计的儿童乃至整个社会都极为关注的话题。对于那些没有亲生父母一方陪伴生活的孩子，包括父母离异的孩子来说，无法获得子女抚养费会带来严重的经济影响。这对我们的福利系统也会产生严重的经济后果。对子女抚养强制执行系统的审视表明，尽管过去曾尝试进行改进，但该系统目前仍需修订。文中讨论了改革的六个关键问题；然而，对于应采用基于州的方法、联邦方法还是两者的某种结合来实现改革，存在不同意见。作者针对应做出哪些改变提出了建议。
