Child Support: It’s Not (Just) What You Think
3:30 PM – 4:45 PM ET
Explore the fundamentals of child support programs, policies and practices, the relationship between states and the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement, and the cost-avoidance benefits of participating in the federal child support program.
