[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom worked many years in child support enforcement. This was obviously a while ago. She said it was very common for the moms to claim she "did not know where the father was" so that she could collect benefits (since the father wasn't paying child support) all the while the father was secretly living in the home with the mom and kids. They used to do random home visits at 11pm at night and would find the dad there. [/quote]

Then child support enforcement got wise and started withholding TANF (welfare) benefits until the mom complied by naming the father. Then they would go after the father for support, and any amount recovered offset the welfare payment…which is as it should be.

Nonetheless, some advocates believe this is unfair. [/quote]

Not sure how I feel about it but it sounds like Bari Weiss is one those who think it’s unfair. This is exactly her point that in giving greater support to single parents than married parents we inadvertently discourage people from marrying.

Bari Weiss is saying we should give married parents with $40k of income the same support we give single parents with $20k of income. [/quote]
