Most people think they understand child support.
They don’t.

In this episode, Glenn Lawrence sits down with Shah, a former Child Support Officer with firsthand experience inside the system, to expose how child support actually works—beyond slogans, rage clips, and surface-level narratives.

This is not opinion.
This is inside knowledge.

We break down:

• How child support cases are initiated, calculated, and enforced

• Why paternity does NOT always mean biological fatherhood

• How men can be legally obligated to pay for children that are not theirs

• The truth about 50/50 custody and why payments still happen

• How child support enforcement mirrors IRS-level collection power

• Federal financial incentives that reward states for maximizing orders

• Why middle-class, working fathers are disproportionately targeted

• How welfare policy reshaped family law and marriage incentives

• Why the system prioritizes revenue recovery over family stability

• How license suspension, wage garnishment, liens, and arrears are weaponized

• The long-term impact on fathers, children, and the family unit

We also go deeper—connecting child support, no-fault divorce, welfare reform, feminism, and the collapse of marriage incentives—and examine how historical systems like dowries and bridewealth once regulated family formation and accountability before being dismantled.

This conversation challenges the narrative that child support is “for the children” and instead exposes how bureaucratic incentives, data systems, and federal performance metrics quietly drive outcomes behind closed doors.

If you are:

• A father

• A man navigating divorce or family court

• Someone questioning modern family law

• Or simply tired of being lied to about how the system works

This episode is required viewing.

Watch until the end.
This is the conversation nobody wants you to hear.
