One Governor alters child support collection fee

Child support collection fee waived for Connecticut custodial parents

In an update to a previous blog I wrote about child support fees being charged to custodial parents receiving child support payments, Connecticut's governor told her state to cancel plans to collect the $25.00 fee from custodial parents receiving child support. The state will pay the federal government directly according to a recent news report.

Again, the question needs to be answered as to why isn't the fee being charged to the non-custodial parents who owe the child support as opposed to custodial parents who are only attempting to collect a court ordered debt. Stay tuned to see if other states follow suit.
