"Child support in America is a national disgrace. There is no more widespread and profoundly consequential example of lawlessness in our society today than fathers' refusal to care for their children after divorce."--Joseph I. Lieberman More than half the men in America who have been told by a judge to pay child support disobey the order, forcing millions of mothers and children to live in poverty. In this much-needed book, Joseph I. Lieberman, attorney general of Connecticut and one of the country's leading experts on the child-support problem, explains the laws and offers practical guidance on how women can avoid becoming victims of nonsupport. The first step is to arrive at an agreement that has a chance of being followed. The book therefore describes in detail the factors that should be considered in negotiating a fair settlement--for example, how to determine the child's needs at present and in the future; how to determine the father's ability to pay and the mother's to contribute; and how to protect the child's financial rights in the event of the death of the father or his remarriage or relocation. Later chapters provide advice on applying for a needed increase in the amount of child support-and on countering the father's efforts to reduce his obligations. Throughout the book, Lieberman focuses on workable solutions. For the individual mother, this may mean taking various steps to see that an existing law is enforced by the courts. From a broader perspective, Lieberman argues for forceful new state laws that will automatically subtract child support from a father's income--whether it be wages, bonuses, unemployment compensation, or retirement benefits. Child Support in America includes a directory of the state agencies charged with enforcing the law and of the national organizations that are working to reform legislation. The book will be an invaluable reference for lawyers, social workers, and others who advise custodial parents as well as for men and women embroiled in child support disputes. " Child Support in America Is the most comprehensive and easily understood guide for women in big trouble currently available. Many children could be saved if both fathers and mothers would just read Lieberman's book before they go to court in divorce matters. He walks the layman through the law's thorny thicket better and more cheaply than the expensive divorce lawyers most people usually hire."--Justice Richard Neely, Supreme Court of Appeals, West Virginia "A passionate book about the dismal state of child support enforcement laws."--Jay Katz, Yale Law School

Excerpt from The American Jewish Year Book, 5676: September 9, 1915 to September 27, 1916 This year of course all thoughts are directed to the Euro pean War, which is affecting so disastrously the fate of Israel in Old Poland divided among three of the combating nations, and in Palestine, which has been dragged willy-nilly into the fray. It would therefore have been appropriate to have an account of the European War so far as it affected Jewish interests for the chief subject of the year book for 5676. But it was felt that any account of the Jewish part in this titanic struggle would have been so incomplete and inaccurate that it was finally decided to defer this bum ing topic for a subsequent issue, when, it may be hoped, the war shall have passed into history. One result of the war will undoubtedly be to settle the fate of Palestine for a long time to come, and it seems therefore appropriate to devote the chief article of the present issue of the american jewish year book to an account of the recent progress in Palestine as it has affected the Jewish inhabitants of the Holy Land. It has been written by Miss Henrietta Szold, and gives for the first time in English, at such length, an account of the upbuilding of the Jewish population of Palestine within recent years. Quite apart from its bearing upon future problems, the position of the Jews in the land of their fathers has an intrinsic interest of its own to every Jew, which Miss Szold's article cannot fail to satisfy.
