Abstrakt: Several states in the U.S. have recently changed their laws and policies to ensure that child support payments are reaching children directly. Previously, a significant amount of child support was intercepted by federal and state governments as reimbursement for welfare received by the mother. However, these reforms aim to redirect the money to the families who need it most. The changes have been made in states such as New Mexico, Wyoming, Illinois, Michigan, Vermont, and California, with other states considering similar reforms. The goal is to provide more support to families and prevent financial difficulties that may lead to increased reliance on government assistance. [Extracted from the article]
