No, the kids aren't helped by lifelong interest payments. Besides that, there's interest collected on the money passing through the system. That was how processing was supposed to have been paid for. Who keeps the interest payments is anybody's guess. In the game of "public private partnerships" it's likely a politicians relative or someone who gave generously during the last campaign. The fees and interest charged are now nothing more than a question of greed. The child support system learned that it can get away with whatever it wants to do, no matter how arbitrary and destructive.
