About this listen
The provided episode analyzes how U.S. states profit from the child support system, despite its stated purpose of ensuring financial support for children. It explains that federal incentives, administrative fees charged to parents, the interest earned on delayed payments, and the recovery of welfare costs are key mechanisms for revenue generation. The article highlights how these practices, along with penalties on non-compliance, disproportionately burden low-income families and can undermine the well-being of children. Ultimately, the text argues for reforms to shift the system's focus from state revenue to the needs of families.
