摘要：This paper examines the extent to which mothers that care for children where the
father is non-resident have an award or agreement for child support in place.
Data from the Families and Children Study are used to explore not only whether
mothers have an award or order but the type of award they have. Results show
that mothers without awards are significantly disadvantaged. Moreover, awards
were less commonplace where there were fewer children, where mothers claimed
Income Support, were from an Asian background and where contact between the
non-resident father and his children was infrequent. Private agreements, in
contrast to a CSA award or no award, were more likely where mothers had recently
separated, when there was frequent contact between the non-resident father and
his children, and where children were younger; they were less common among those
living in social housing.
