- Of the nation's 83 million children under age 21, more than one in four (27 percent) lives in a custodial-parent family.
- Of the 13.6 million custodial parents, only 50 percent had child support agreements.
- Those with agreements were supposed to receive an average of $5,760 in child support in 2015.
- Among those with agreements, 69 percent received payments in 2015.
- Among those who received payments, the average received was $3,447
When the Census Bureau asked custodial parents without child support agreements why they did not have a formal arrangement, the single biggest response was that the other parent provides what he or she can.
