Well I haven't found it yet, but I did find this:
Michigan's child support guidelines will change in July, the first major modifications since 1986. One change creates a sliding scale to decrease support owed depending on the number of nights a child spends with the noncustodial parent. Currently child support can be decreased if a child spends more than 128 nights with the noncustodial parent. The new rule drops the threshold to 52 nights. Noncustodial parents who meet the threshold must petition the court for a support modification and the court can modify only if the change is found to be in the child's best interests. Michigan is also modifying its medical support guidelines, setting ordinary health care expenses at $280 per child per year. The figure includes insurance co-payments and deductibles, and allows for additional costs to be factored in later. Under current guidelines, medical expenses are an add-on to child support orders.
I'll be back.

*tosses out Beggin' Strips*
Here's a little info from http://www.ncsl.org/statefed/welfare/hr3130.htm
Alternative penalty for states making good faith efforts to comply with the automated child support systems requirements of the 1988 Family Support Act (Currently, noncompliant states are at risk of losing not only federal child support enforcement funds, but their TANF block grant as well.) **** So, if states don't meet quotas or comply, they lose funding. Good incentive to go for the CS, ain't it?
*Incentive payments will be based on five performance measures:
paternity establishment, establishment of support orders, collections on current payments, collections on past due payments (arrearages), cost-effectiveness.
*A state's share of the incentive pool will be based in each fiscal year on its performance for the five measures. The performance pool for FY 2000-FY 2008 is as follows:
FY 2000--$422 million
FY 2001--$429 million
FY 2002--$450 million
FY 2003--$461 million
FY 2004--$454 million
FY 2005--$446 million
FY 2006--$458 million
FY 2007--$471 million
FY 2008--$483 million
*When computing incentive payments, support collected by the state at the request of another state will be treated as having been collected in full by both states.
*The new incentive program will be phased in over two years beginning in FY 2000--1/3 of each state's incentive payment will be based on the new incentive system and 2/3 on the old system; in FY 2001, 2/3 of the payment will be based on the new system; in FY 2002, the incentive payment will be entirely based on the new system.
**** Notice that those numbers up there by the FY's is how much the Fed's are allotting for the entire country, to be split between all states.

http://www.ncsl.org/programs/cyf/azprogram.htm#performance
Federal incentive payments:
$3,525,504 <<<<Arizona's
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/cyf/meprogram.htm#performance
Federal incentive payments:
$2.86 million (FY 200)
$2.86 million (FY 2001) <<<< Maine's
Those are for Child Support Enforcement. Now, this is for the Federal Access and Visitation Program....
"The Federal Access and Visitation Program provides $10 million per year to States enabling them to encourage non-custodial parents to stay involved with their children. Each State receives from $100,000 to almost $1 million, based upon its number of single parent children, to fund mediation, education, counseling, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement, visitation monitoring, supervised visitation, and neutral drop off and pick up services."
So... by the other table I provided... over $400 Million a year in incentive funds for states to enforce, start and collect on CS to be split between all states depending on their performance of the previous FY. And... Drum roll please.... a whopping $10 million to split between all the states for access and visitation enforcement.
Mighty nice of Uncle Sam, aint it?

Don't know if this is it...but I gotta go for a while. I'll be back later to check again.

BLCM, I totally agree on the reimbursement front, it's almost like the taxes are an insurance policy, but one still has to be dirt poor sometimes to get the help you need. I know a man with terminal cancer who just quit his job because he had never been able to afford insurance for his whole family and himself, but he couldn't get medicaid because he made too much money. I guess I should specify I'm not talking about a body that has had a rough turn of events, injury/disease, etc. but about people who deliberately are avoiding their obligations, whether to themselves or to their family, or even to the government to reveal who else is responsible for their child(ren).
OTOH, I have volunteered and visited people in jail and I am aware that you can get small jobs in jail as well.

I can't find anything. The closest I have come is finding the funding report for TANF. I also found that for the FY 2002, 20.1 billion was collected nation wide in c/s.
I never liked homework in school either.

I am a CP and have been very very coropative with the NCP but everytime i try to be fair he tries to get something else passed. I have even offered to drop all support( i never wanted it in the first place) and he won't allow it. All I wanted from him was a signature on my sons birth certificte and let me tell you it has been a nightmare ever since. I allow open visatation so the father and my son can spend as much time as wanted and his response was to file for joint custody every other week. We live in separate counties so different schools but he wouldn't compromise. Also I have gone out of my way to try to be flexible in many other matters, have never asked for anything other than to give him the choice to be an active father. He even went as far as to try to hold the time i have allowed open visation against me. How is that fair! Sometimes I wonder if I was right in trying to prove paternity because since then I have been taken to court for the stupidest reasons and everytime he has the same ignorant lawer who is scared of my top rated lawyer and therefor loses. Why should I have to keep trying to make peace when nothing works? I can honestly say that I am not after him for money just trying to give him the chance to be a father. So sometimes it is not always the CP.
just my personal experience.
