For Your Child's Sake...Establish Paternity [and] Collect Child Support.
Administration for Children, Youth, and Families (DHHS), Washington, DC.
These brochures explain briefly the importance of establishing paternity for unwed mothers. By establishing paternity and enforcing child support orders, fathers can be required to help raise their child legally and financially. The brochures consist of two separate sheets. "For Your Child's Sake...Establish Paternity" presents several questions and answers including the definition of paternity, reasons to establish paternity, the processes required to establish paternity, the benefits and results of establishing paternity, the duration of the father's legal responsibility, and visitation. "Collecting Child Support" explains the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Program in the Office of Child Support Enforcement, which is a federal, state, and local effort to find absent parents, their employers, and assets in order to establish paternity and enforce child support orders. The latter sheet covers the functions of state and local CSE programs in locating a non-custodial parent, establishing paternity, establishing the obligation, and enforcing the child support order. A list of phone numbers of state child support enforcement offices is included. (AP)
