Having a UBI would be conducive to making child support actually work as a policy since you wouldn't be forcing people to pay money they don't have, as happens all too often now, and can make it even harder for the person to escape poverty, creating a downward spiral of poverty and penalty.

If someone is an unwilling parent, and they have the financial resources, they should be required to pay.  However if the parent wants to be involved or even seek custody and is not given this for reasons not related to abuse or outright neglect, then making them pay the other parent is something I find problematic. For one thing, it does not seem fair to this person when they are already being denied the ability to be the parent, and for another, it's important to avoid if possible there being an incentive to make custody battles about who is paying money to whom.   It's definitely a tricky question though.
