Data Reflects Source Release Cycles

According to the federal Office of Child Support Services, the 14.57 million enforcement cases across the 51 states collected $28.9 billion at a 60.6% average collection rate; guideline formulas set base support from 13% of income for one child in Washington to 25% in Vermont. Our methodology explains how every figure is sourced and computed. Records on PlainChildSupport reflect the most recent source data we have processed and can lag an official release. Values can change after we ingest a record, and source data may contain errors or be incomplete. Always confirm the current information directly with the primary source before acting.
