| Abstract | In this report, Vicki Turetsky, who served as the commissioner for the U.S. office of child support enforcement for nearly eight years, examines the data and finds that it is time for Maryland to reform its child support system. Not only are orders for many low-income parents set unrealistically high, but policies around enforcement and collection are unnecessarily punitive. For example, people who fail to pay child support can have their license suspended. But the research shows that this strategy further interferes with low-income parents' ability to pay by affecting their ability to find and maintain employment and does not yield more money for the state. The report focuses on 15 policy recommendations that Maryland should implement to increase the effectiveness of the state's child support system. Three key evidence-based strategies underlie the policy recommendations in the report: (1) Set child support orders that reflect parents' actual ability to pay; (2) Reduce uncollectible child support debt; and (3) Ensure that children, not the state, receive the money when their parents pay child support.
