State takes tougher stand on *"phantom father"issue Illinois has steadily strengthen­ ed its program to collect child sup­ port payments from parents refusing to pay, Gov. James R. Thomspon, said recently. Among the new federal regula­ tions is a requirement that all states adopt mandatory income withholding to collect child sup­ port from parents who refuse to pay voluntarily. The state and federal govern­ ments should work together to fur­ ther "turn the heat up a little higher on phantom fathers in Il­ linois," Thompson said. He added that the new state and federal legislation will "shift the odds in our favor in our effort to make parents live up to their fiscal responsibilities." Child-support collection in the state have increased to an estimated $70 million this year from $14 million in 1980, Thomp­ son said. He also commented that collections will probably surpass $100 million next year. In Illinois, the Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Aid is responsible for collecting unpaid child support for any woman in the state who is not receiving court-ordered payments and will help a woman get a court order if she does not have one.
