Less than 50 years ago, it was considered taboo to have a child out of wedlock. Now, thousands of parents find themselves having children out of wedlock, becoming single parents. Another reason there are more single parents now than in the past is because the divorce rate in the United States is hovering near 43% according to the Americans for Divorce Reform. For married couples that have children, those children will then be raised in a single parent home. There are many questions newly single parents have and the biggest series of questions are about child support and child support enforcement.
