Abstract
The American system of assuring child support directly affects most parents and children and indirectly affects all Americans. By child support we mean transfers to custodial parents (mostly mothers)1 from either nonresident parents or taxpayers. More than one half of American children now spend part of their childhood living apart from one of their parents. The system indirectly affects all Americans because of its impact on transfers and taxes and on future generations.
