Webinar: Transforming Child Support into a Family-Building System

April 12, 2018

 

Thursday, April 12, 2018, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT

Child support is a vital tool for providing income to children living in poverty. But the system can be punitive, requiring noncustodial parents with low earnings to pay unrealistically high levels of support.

In this webinar, Partnership member and sociologist Kathryn Edin and director of the San Francisco Department of Child Support Services Karen Roye will discuss the potential impact of reforms put forward in Transforming Child Support into a Family-Building System.

Speakers

Kathryn Edin, Member, US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty; Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, Princeton University

Karen Roye, Director, San Francisco Department of Child Support Services

Nisha Patel, Executive Director, US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty
