For frustrated single parents, child support could be the difference in meeting the
necessary daily needs for your child. It is estimated that there are
10-15 million families
in our country who are not getting the child support they deserve and that more than
$30 billion in child support goes uncollected every year!Although the government has introduced tougher penalties for those who don't pay their child support, these penalties are useless if you can't find the absent parent!
Most states have formulas to calculate the amount of child support the non-custodial parent should pay based on their net income each month.
Typically the amounts are:
20 percent for one child
25 percent for two children
30 percent for three children
35 percent for four children
40 percent for five children
No less than 40 percent for six or
more children
Special rules apply in cases of split or joint custody or multiple children in different households.
In some states, if a court believes that you are not making as much money as you should,
the child support amount may be based on your earning potentialrather
than your current income.

It's never too late to collect. Many states
have no statue of limitations on collecting back child support. So, if you have
tried to pursue owed child support and back child support but ended up very
frustrated because the resources that you used were either to slow, lengthy or
