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)
