Family Support Act

The Family Support Act, enacted in 1988 in the United States, focuses on improving child support enforcement and promoting family stability. It requires states to implement guidelines for calculating child support and encourages the establishment of paternity. The act also emphasizes providing assistance for non-custodial parents to support their children and includes provisions for family preservation services. Overall, it aims to ensure that children receive proper financial support from both parents while promoting responsible parenting and reducing welfare dependency.
