| Abstract: | The failure of uniform state laws and other forms of interstatecooperation to solve the problem of collection of child supportby a custodial parent from a reluctant obligor in another stateled Congress to employ incrementally conditional grants-in-aidto regulate states' efforts to enforce child support orders.Congressional action has produced limited results and the proposalhas been advanced for establishment of an exclusive federalgovernment child support system. Our analysis suggests thatCongress lacks authority to establish such a system and interstatecollection of child support will continue to be a serious problem. |
