At the forefront of all child support discussions and debates today are deadbeat parents with fathers leading the pack. Disintegrated relationships, vengeful partners, and outright vagrancy in regards to being financial responsible for their offspring, have resulted in children not being financial supported, more often by the parent that has left the home. This leads to an extra burden on the custodial parent responsible for day to day caretaking of the child.

Surprisingly, dead bead parents make up  for only  11% of those custodial mothers who do not receive child support. 11%. With all the hupa la, you would think that these make up the majority. Instead, the represent just slightly more than one-tenth of the total. The members of the small percentage receive the most press because the are without a doubt the most callous and the main reason the system exist in the first place

 Most case studies reveal a mother, forced to turn to the child support system to extract funds from the offending parent. The system in most states, with non effective enforcement measures, and calculations that are way behind the cost of actual living,  have proved no match for a savvy parent determined not to pay leaving the child to suffer from their denial of their own flesh and blood to have the best life they can have.

What needs to be done to upgrade and improve the effectiveness of the current  Child support system  nationwide to erode that 11% figure? And let's take a look at the remaining 89% that are not under the dreaded " deadbeat umbrella. 

Consider these numbers;

• The most common ways of collecting child support are:
  • Wage withholding: 33.8%
  • Direct payment to parent: 31.7%
  • Direct payment to child support agency: 14.38%
  • Direct payment to the court: 17.7%
  • Other methods: 2.4%
