| Abstract | Results of a review of problems associated with divorce indicate that not only are very large numbers of children involved, but divorce seems to be associated with serious effects for children and adults. A very substantial number of children of divorced parents live in poverty and nearly all experience substantial reductions in family income. One of the major causes of income reduction and poverty in female-headed families is the poor performance of fathers in providing financial support for their children. Estimates show that as little as 20 percent of the money needed by single-parent mothers to support their children is actually paid. Although recent efforts to strengthen child support enforcement provisions at the federal and state level have produced good results, the problem of poverty and low income among these families has hardly been affected. To address the problem of assuring adequate support of children in single-parent families, four alternative policies (AFDC, guaranteed annual income, child support enforcement, and child support tax) are assessed with regard to seven criteria: equity, efficiency, stigma, preference satisfaction, family privacy, paternal responsibility, and effects on the post-separation family. Concluding remarks offer social policy recommendations for the state of North Carolina. (RH) |
