| ACES, The Association for Children for Enforcement of Support, Inc., is a nation-wide, non-profit child support advocacy organization, dedicated to assisting disadvantaged children affected by parents who fail to meet legal and moral child support and/or visitation obligations. ACES was founded in March of 1984 by Geraldine Jensen, current National President. ACES now has 390 chapter in 48 states and nearly 40,000 members. A made for TV movie "Abandoned and Deceived" depicts the story of Geri and the founding of ACES. Since 1984, thousands of children's lives have been made better through the efforts of ACES. Many children started receiving child support after going without the basic needs; food, clothing and shelter, for many years. Together our efforts have brought about many improvements in federal and state legislation. Children are now entitled to receive child support payments payments through payroll deductions. It is now a federal crime to live in another state than your child and not pay child support. Driver's licenses can be suspended for non-payment of child support in 49 states. These victories for the children owed support could not have happened without the TEAM WORK of concerned ACES leaders and members. In the United States, 50% of the children growing up in single, female head of household families who are owed support are still living in poverty. That translates into over 10 MILLION children who suffer because they are going to bed hungry at night. We need your help to eliminate this senseless crime against our children. "Sheer numbers do not tell the story. They do not reveal the human plight of these women and children affected by the lack of support from the absent parent. They do not show the bodies of American children dying from poverty at the rate of one child every 53 minutes. They do not reflect the battle that women must wage against a convoluted and often inept bureaucracy if they are to collect the support due their children." Geraldine Jensen - 1993 Non-payment of child support is the most blatant form of child abuse. The average monthly child support payment is less than the average monthly car payment. You can bet that those car payments get made. |
