The U.S. Census is reporting that custodial parents are less likely to receive full amount of child support. In 2009, 41.2 % of custodial parents received the full amount of child support owed them, down from 46.8 % in 2007, according to a report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. The proportion of these parents who were owed child support payments and who received any amount at all ─ either full or partial ─ declined from 76.3 % to 70.8 % over the period.
