Abstract
⺠We investigate child support receipt among custodial mothers in Colombia and the US. ⺠Mothers in the US are more likely to receive child support. ⺠Several characteristics (like education) are related to receipt in both countries. ⺠Controlling for characteristics reduces but does not eliminate the US advantage. ⺠Comparative research highlights core policy issues across countries.
