The states gets 15% per year for enforcement of child support.
In most states, this comes to 3X the operating budgets for child support enforcement.
Do you think the states find ways to create child support debt, as well as find ways to inflate the figures, in order to receive ever increasing amounts of money from the federal government.
During the Clinton Administration, Judge David Grey Ross was head of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. He stated at a Conference for the Children's Rights Association that the vast majority of child support was paid in full. Soon after making that comment, he was replaced.

The federal office of child support enforcement monitors all state's reporting. The figures are accurate for cases that are being enforced by the states. There are many cases in which there has never been a payment and where the custodial parent does not want enforcement--so those cases (where several thousand dollars per case is unpaid) are not even reported. That being said, there ARE many more cases where the non custodial parent is paying support in full each month and a lot more where "most" of the child support is getting paid, but not in full.

No I don't think they are reporting the honest figures. I do know from recent experience with my boyfriend that they would rather go after someone for owing $700 then someone owing $30,000. He has been to court three times in the last 3 months for owing $700 in back support after the loss of a job. If you look into public records you may find people that owe a few thousand dollars in child support and constantly move or change jobs so they won't be found.
The other thing is that when child support receives checks from non custodial parent in Maryland it takes them exactly one month to post those figures so sometimes they tell you you owe more than you truly do.
