Child
Cost Economics and Litigation Issues: An Introduction to Applying
Cost Shares Child Support Guidelines [PDF]
by R. Mark Rogers and Donald J. Bieniewicz.
Presented at the Southern Economic Association meeting in metro
Washington, D.C. on Nov. 12, 2000, this paper gives a working
version of a child support guideline based on sharing the actual
costs of children. Although presented in the context of litigation
issues for forensic economists, it is written for a general
audience of those interested in child support economics as a
public policy issue.
