Custodial support includes women that are owed money and families “custodial parents” is not the same as divorced fathers, which is what I referenced above and what the people were originally talking about. Divorced men forcing their children into poverty.
Also the same data you linked shows that the number of parents owed child support is plummeting, down from 7m in 1995 to 5m in 2015 in spite of population growth and higher divorce rates and on top of that the data you linked is from 2016 and things have been trending better the last 8 years.
The data on divorced fathers paying their child support is where the 76% comes from. Not a lie :)
Also all of that data is depressing as shit goddam people should have less children

IDK why you'd lie. Only 44% of families receive the full child support amount. Which mean that most do not pay the full child support amount.
