A review of "Table 71: Total Amount of Arrearages Due for All Fiscal Years for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years" reveals that some states are decreasing their child support arrearages while the arrearages in other states continues to increase. Note, for example, the progress made in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming.
Maybe States such as South Carolina should contact States such as North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming and find out how they have accomplished this feat and attempt to replicate their efforts. One thing is for certain--while not all the States that have complied with Federal Law by adopting a New Hire Reporting System and installing a computerized child support tracking and collection system have reduced their child support arrearages, all States that have failed to comply with Federal Law--South Carolina--have seen an increase in their arrearages.
