Child Well-Being and Nonresident Parents [PDF ebook] 

The nation’s future depends to a larger extent on its children’s ability to develop into contributing adult members of society. For that reason, and for what many would consider a society’s moral obligation to care for the young and vulnerable, Congress and the nation take an interest in promoting children’s well-being. Their well-being and ability to develop into productive adults in an increasingly competitive global economy is influenced by a variety of factors and public policies. This new book discusses topics such as child well-being and the noncustodial father; child support enforcement and ex-offenders; parents in prison and their minor children, as well as child welfare agencies’ efforts to identify, locate and involve nonresident fathers
