In this episode of the F’ Yo Feelin’ podcast, Christopher explores the American child support system and its significant impact on Black families. He reviews the historical evolution of the system, highlighting its original goal to reduce government welfare expenditure rather than improve children's financial situation. As the enforcement expanded, so did the unintended consequences, cycled hardship, and systemic inequalities disproportionately affecting Black families. The podcast also explores the systemic intersections with the criminal justice system and public welfare, often resulting in a compounding of disadvantages. Real-life stories from affected families provide a deeper understanding of these issues. Lastly, Christopher discusses potential reforms at federal and state levels, alternative community programs, and broader systemic changes that aim to better serve children and affected families.
