Child Support Recovery Act

The Child Support Recovery Act is a U.S. law designed to ensure non-custodial parents fulfill their financial obligations to support their children. It makes it a federal crime for a parent to willfully fail to pay child support when they have the ability to do so, especially if the parent travels across state lines to avoid payments. This act aims to help custodial parents receive the financial support they need for their children's upbringing and seeks to uphold the principle that both parents are responsible for providing for their children's well-being.
