Statistical Brief: Who Receives Child Support?
Statistical Brief: Who Receives Child Support?
Report Number: SB/95-16
In the past, the Census Bureau has published data only on mothers who receive child support; in this Brief, for the first time, we also present information on fathers who receive it. The April Supplement of the Current Population Survey shows that, in spring 1992, there were 11.5 million persons in the United States who were custodial parents of never-married children under age 21 whose other parent was absent from the home. Though most (9.9 million) of these custodial parents were women, a large number (1.6 million) were men. The families they maintained comprised about one-third of families with own, never-married children under age 21.
