Effectiveness of Access and Visitation Grant Programs

Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. Oct. 1, 2002
http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-05-02-00300.pdf

This report is based on 254 cases from five states and analyzes the "extent to which the Access and Visitation Grants increased access rights, visitation, and child support payment compliance" (p.1) of noncustodial parents. Two sets of analysis - one in Georgia and the other in Nevada, Illinois, Oklahoma and Connecticut - analyzed mediation services and their impact on access rights through both court- and community-based programs. The report discusses access, visitation, and payment, as well as other outcomes. The analysis of Georgia determined that "60 percent of cases that successfully completed the program goals saw an increase in visits" (p.20). The analysis of the second set of states concluded that "mediation programs successfully facilitated access for noncustodial parents in 76% of the cases through mutually agreed upon visitation plans" (p.8).
