I’ve also learned that the child support statutes have been perverted to fund DCF in many if not all states. Where as this concept was meant to go after dead-beat dads and sometimes moms, it has gone far beyond that. If a state takes children out of the home because they allege the children to be unsafe, they use the child support statutes to extract revenue from either/both parent(s) and continue this for what could be years. Where is the incentive for these DCF agencies to let cases close? They have a license to steal from parents and continue to this day.
Fortunately I have no knowledge or experience with divorce, child support, or child protective services.
