Child Support Obligations

Abstract: The attitudes of 160 men and 264 women randomly selected from five nonurban midwestern communities were examined to (a) determine how much child support a nonresidential father is perceived to be obligated to pay; (b) assess how perceived obligations vary by gender of participant, legal custody arrangement, changes in parents' marital status, and father's financial status; and (c) explore the rationale used in making judgments about child support obligations.
