Child Support:

Title IV-D program works. Suppose a father is required to pay $40 a month in child support. The state ensures that $40 is collected. Under the Title IV-D program, the federal government provides matching funds to the state based on the amount of child support collected. In this case, the federal government might match that $40, effectively doubling the funds going into the system. This creates a financial incentive for the state to enforce child support obligations, as they receive federal funds that match the collected amounts. This is how the program encourages enforcement and helps states raise money while supporting families.

Here is the decision that was made on the Paul Hunter v. Jeff Leggett case:



Paul Hunter's case was dismissed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The court affirmed the dismissal, ruling that the federal court did not have jurisdiction over his claims. This was due to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, which prevents federal courts from reviewing state court judgments. Hunter had challenged a state court order related to unpaid child support, including a contempt order and garnishment of his unemployment benefits and tax refunds. The court ruled that his constitutional claims were barred, and his statutory claims were also dismissed.



In short, the court affirmed the dismissal, and Paul Hunter did not win the case.

Here is the information you requested about 45 CFR and child support regulations:



45 CFR refers to Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which deals with public welfare. It includes federal rules and guidelines that govern child support enforcement programs. These regulations are established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to ensure that state-run child support programs comply with uniform standards across the nation. They cover areas like establishing paternity, setting and modifying child support orders, collecting and distributing payments, and enforcing support obligations. In essence, 45 CFR ensures consistency, efficiency, and fairness in child support enforcement activities.
