The feds have no interest here and should keep out of it.

I read your link. It explained that in spite of URESA, actual collection or enforcement was still complicated and problematic. Some examples were given.

Making it easier for women to collect child support was part of the comprehensive welfare reform package hammered out between Clinton and Gingrich in 1996. The link explains the whole bill. In your opinion, was PRWORA a mistake? Should the fed. govt. not have involved itself in welfare reform, leaving it to the states to decide how much reform to enact, if any? Or should only the enhancement of child support collection been carved out and left to the states?

I rather like the intent of the bill, which was to reduce amount of welfare previously given but cushion the blow by cracking down on negligent fathers. Shifting responsibility onto individuals and off the govt. is something I can always get behind. Maybe enhancing child support collection was even a Republican initiative and didn't originate with Clinton at all.
