Pissed Off Parent Podcast: Government's failure of the family

In this episode of The Pissed Off Parent Podcast, we explore how Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, originally intended to ensure child support compliance, has evolved into a system prioritizing state profit over family welfare.

We take a deep dive into the history of Title IV-D, examining how its financial incentives drive states to maximize child support orders at the expense of fostering healthy family dynamics. This discussion reveals the unintended consequences of a program designed to assist families but often exacerbates family court conflicts, creating winners and losers in what should be collaborative parenting efforts.

Key questions include:

How did Title IV-D morph into a “cash cow” for states?
What does this mean for parents navigating custody and child support issues?
How can we reform the system to prioritize families over finances?
Listeners will leave with a clearer understanding of how these policies impact everyday families and steps we can take to advocate for change.
