A concurrent resolution to encourage State and local governments to focus on the problems of child custody, child support, and related domestic issues.

Summary

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) State and local governments must focus on child support, custody, visitation rights, and other related domestic issues properly within their jurisdictions; (2) all involved in the domestic relations process should assign highest priority to such issues for the sake of children's health and welfare; (3) Congress must strengthen the existing child support enforcement system and make it available to all children; and (4) a mutual recognition of the needs of all parties in divorce actions will greatly enhance the health and welfare of the Nation's children and families.
