Notes: Marginal effects represent the discrete change from the base level holding all other variables at the means.

Nearest neighbor matching method is used. Population average treatment effects are reported. The number of matched mixed-status families is 157 for paternity establishment, 136 for CS order, 131 for CS receipt, and 72 for in-kind support.
