Unfortunately, not every parent voluntarily meets the financial obligation to support their families. According to the Child Support Lien Network (CSLN), there is in excess of $92.3 Billion in past due support owed to 17.9 million children.
Finding those in arrears is only part of the problem. Once found, these individuals are frequently incarcerated which is of little benefit to those children and families struggling financially to make ends meet.
The iSECUREtrac Solution
Rather than incarcerate, iSECUREtrac recommends community supervision supplemented with electronic monitoring, like GPS. Community supervision keeps the offender employed and paying for their own meals, medical expenses and housing while they make past due and current family support payments. Gainfully employed offenders can also be required to pay for their electronic monitoring.
As a side benefit, the social stigma of wearing an ankle bracelet and carrying a personal tracking device provides an added incentive for the offender to clear up past due payments quickly. In a documented case study, an iSECUREtrac client was able to improve the success rates for collecting child support payments to 75% compliance.
