Abstract
In 1984 and 1988, the federal government passed legislation aimed at enhancing the enforcement of child support payments by noncustodial parents. This article analyzes how these laws were implemented in two counties in New York State using a model of policy implementation developed by Donald Van Meter and Carl Van Horn. It is concluded that improved enforcement contributes to state revenues and may be helpful to custodial parents who do not receive Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), but it is unsuccessful in removing custodial parents from AFDC.
