Noncustodial Parents, and Child Support & EITC Policy: Are We Moving Families Toward Economic Security?

General Material
Published Date
December, 2013
Author(s)

This paper examines recent state tax policy proposals that will inevitably result in increased tax burdens on low-income families; considers the effect of federal and state Earned Income Tax Credits on parents who are court-ordered to pay child support; and calculates the impact of that policy on parents in four focus states (Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Illinois), estimating that noncustodial parents in these states need to earn anywhere from $32,000 to $45,000 per year in order to pay child support while maintaining basic economic security for themselves and their children.
