Child Support Arrears
Recent research has shown a close correlation between the payment of child support orders and noncustodial parents' income levels. In a recent study of child support arrears (debt) commissioned by the DHHS..., researchers with the Urban Institute made the following findings:
- obligors who paid their current support order in full had median annual reported of $30,579
- obligors who paid some of their current support order in the past year had median annual reported income of 16,800, and
- obligors who paid none of their current support order in the past year had median annual reported income of $66. (see page 63 of the Urban Institute report)
