The most current child support collection statistics from the US Department of Health and Human Services based on fiscal year 2008 indicate a starkly different picture whereby only about 62% of CURRENT child support is paid by non-custodial parents ($31 billion owed and $19 billion collected for an outstanding total of $12 billion). Collection of child support arrears is even more bleak with $105 billion owed and only $8 billion collected. Thus, the grand total of outstanding child support owed in the United States is $109 billion with a grand total of only $27 billion collected on behalf of children. This means about 80% of child support is NOT paid.

Furthermore, US Census data shows that the greatest population group living at or below the poverty level are women and children who are divorced or never married.
