Changes in child support: A primary objective of PFS is to increase support payments.
Employment activities: Sites are encouraged to offer a variety of services, including job search assistance and opportunities for education and skills training. In addition, sites are encouraged to offer opportunities for on-the-job training, paid work experience, and other activities that mix skills training or education with part-time employment.
Financial Incentives: Child support orders to be reduced while non-custodial parents participate in PFS.
Social/Support Services: The demonstration programs provide regular support groups for participants. This component is built around a curriculum known as Responsible Fatherhood that was supplied by MDRC. Additionally, demonstration programs must provide opportunities for parents to mediate their differences using services modeled on those provided through many family courts and divorce cases.
