Dads From Day One
This is a federal Special Improvement Project (SIP) grant that is awarded by the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to enhance child support performance. Special Improvement Project grants must go beyond the normal scope of the child support IV-D program. The grant is designed to improve services to low-income non-custodial parents and produce the following results: Fewer child support default orders. More child support orders that better reflect the payer's ability to pay. Fewer child support arrearage cases. Lower child support arrearage amounts. Increased voluntary paternity establishment. Increased marriage rate of unwed parents. Increased employment & earnings to reduce welfare dependency. If successful, create a national model. The results of the grant will be shared across the nation and, if successful, may provide a best practice model for child support programs in other states
Child support payments are determined by the Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984.
According to the Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984, the amount paid is based on guidelines issued by each state. In general, the guidelines use a formula that takes into consideration the amount the noncustodial parent makes and the amount required to care for the children.
