Bro I rather hear from real black women preach, instead of these pathetic plantation negro save a hoes!!!
The laws continued to develop into the twentieth century. In 1950, Congress passed the first Federal support enforcement legislation requiring State welfare agencies to notify appropriate law enforcement officials when it became necessary to provide aid to dependent children who had been abandoned or deserted by a parent.
Amendments to the Social Security Act in 1965 allowed local and state welfare agencies to obtain information from the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare regarding the address and place of employment of a non-custodial parent who owed support under a court order for support.
The year 1975 saw big changes not only for the collection of child support, but also for the enforcement of child support collection. Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, was signed into law on January 4, 1975. This law allowed the Secretary of Health and Human Services (previously the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare,) to establish a separate division, which would be mandated to oversee the operation of a Enforcement program.
This program would establish a parent locator service; state operational guidelines, and a plan for periodic review of cases. The primary responsibility for operating the Enforcement program was placed on each state. These provisions were to come into effect by July 1, 1975.
The next big year for child support laws was 1984, when the Child Support Enforcement Amendments were established requiring major improvements in both state and local Enforcement programs. First, all States were required to develop mandatory income withholding procedures as well as expedited processes for establishing and enforcing support orders (such as income tax refund interceptions and property liens.) In addition, states were allowed to report delinquent parents to consumer credit agencies.
In 1988, The Family Support Act of 1988 was enacted. This act made several important changes to the support programs. Most significantly, the act required the courts to use State guidelines when establishing support amounts. States were also required to review their guidelines every four years. Another important provision established with the Child Recovery Act of 1992, made it a Federal crime to willfully fail to pay past-due child support payments, with respect to a child who resides in another State.
One of the most significant changes in support enforcement policy in recent years has been the shift towards addressing men's roles as fathers. Legislation enacted in 1996, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, contains significant revisions in child support legislation that call for the development of a number of social services programs aimed towards working with fathers.
Under this Act, states can apply for grants in the range of $50,000 to develop programs that provide mediation and counseling services and encourage child visitation in families where the parents do not live together.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act also allowed for the creation of the New Hires database, which requires all employers to report information about newly hired employees. This allows child support enforcement officials to track down deadbeat parents, even across state lines and retrieve payments through income withholding.
skills are impressive why should women be financially rewarded for having children
