Government spending more money on funding for agencies to assist in collection of the money that is owed to children. This is where the question is, since the Government continues to spend billons to collect millions that are owed in delinquent child support? What is the important to the government, getting the non-custodial (bad) parents who do not pay, or helping the child who to me is the ultimate reason for their actions? We spend billons of dollars on child support enforcement. In 2006, $3.9 billion was available to help fund child support enforcement. This is the government aid that is given to states for obtaining payments from a court to all families. Financial help that were given to states for more effective programs to help aid in enforcement.
