Abstract
Child support enforcement has become an increasingly important topic for single parents in the legal and legislative arenas. But little is known about why absent parents do not pay support or how the caretaker parent responds to nonpayment. Such information may be important for practitioners who work with single parents in helping them to deal effectively with this problem. Two years of working with single parents on child support issues at Parents Without Partners, Inc., has yielded a proposed typology of absent parents who do not pay support, as well as observations on certain emotional issues for the nonrecipient parent which should be resolved.
