About this listen

Discover the truth behind the child support system and its impact on families.

This meticulously researched book uncovers the hidden flaws of a system designed to protect families but often ends up tearing them apart.

Why this audiobook matters:

  • Uncover the History: Trace the evolution of child support from its informal roots to today’s rigid, enforcement-driven model.
  • Redefine Fatherhood: Learn how the system reduces fathers to mere financial providers, sidelining their emotional and caregiving roles.
  • Examine Perverse Incentives: Discover how child support laws can encourage separation, custody battles, and higher divorce rates.
  • Understand the Impact on Children: See how the system’s focus on money over relationships harms children’s emotional, psychological, and developmental well-being.
  • Explore Solutions: Gain actionable insights into reforming the system through shared parenting, fair financial calculations, and support programs for struggling fathers.
