Strategies for Improving Child Support Collections In California
-------------------------------------------------------
Despite reform attempts, California continues to lag the nation in the collection of child support and in its performance on federal outcome measures.

If enacted, our proposed reforms would (1) likely increase the amount of child support collected on behalf of custodial parents and (2) restore accountability to the child support enforcement system.
