Child support improves young childrens cognitive development even after controlling for family income and other socioeconomic familybackground characteristics. The effects are strongest for AfricanAmerican children in separated/divorced homes and white children whose parents are not married.1 Young girls often experience academic difficulties when their parents separate. Receipt of child support ameliorates these negative academic affects.2 Receipt of child support also has a positive effect on the academic achievement of older children. Those who receive child support obtain significantly more schooling are more likely to finish high school and are more likely to attend college than those who do not receive support.3 There is also evidence that fathers who pay child support are more involved with their children providing them with emotional as well as financial support.41Argys L.
