Barriers to child support compliance and traditional tools for addressing barriers Sample Clauses

Barriers to child support compliance and traditional tools for addressing barriers. An array of factors can affect NCPs’ compliance with child support obligations, including issues related to ability to pay, willingness to pay, and characteristics of the enforcement system (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2003). Most child support in the United States is paid through automatic income withholding (Tollestrup, 2019), making it a particularly useful tool for facilitating compliance, as it regularly collects payments without NCPs making a choice about whether to pay (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2019; Xxxxx, 2021). However, willingness to pay remains particularly salient for NCPs who pay outside of automatic income withholding (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2003). Some NCPs are reluctant to cooperate because they perceive the child support system as unfair or complex (Xxxx et al. 2019; Xxx, 2000; Xxxx, 2002; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2001); or avoid the system due to fear of potential sanctions, financial consequences, and previous negative interactions with child support (Xxxxx, 2020a; Xxxxx, 2020b); or apprehension about connections between child support and the criminal justice system (Xxxxxxxx, 1999; Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxx, 1998). Prior research has also identified that child support policies resulting in high arrears balances—including orders outsized to earnings and charging interest—can reduce NCPs’ willingness to comply with obligations, as obligations begin to feel “endless” (Xxxxx, 2020a, p.6; Xxxxxxxxx, 2005) and this can negatively impact their participation in the formal labor market (Xxxxxxx et al., 2013; Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2012) and compliance (Cancian et al., 2013; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2011). Historically, the child support program’s approach to improving compliance has been to use tools aimed at reducing the role that willingness to pay can play in payment of child support. Since the 1980s, federal legislation has expanded the capacity for states to identify information about an NCP’s work and earnings, collect and distribute child support, and use punitive tools to enforce compliance when NCPs do not pay the support that they owe. Tools available to agencies include administrative remedies, such as property liens and levies, license suspension, credit reporting, passport restrictions, intercept of state and federal tax refunds, and judicial enforcement via civil contempt proceedings and criminal penalties (Xxxxxx, 2019). Sanction-based approaches to compliance, however, rely on NCPs having the ability to pay, and the child support program has struggled to collect payments from N...
