“Child Support Ain’t Support — It’s a Setup”

from The Grind-Real Talk,Real Life Hosted by Johnathan Meadows

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Johnathan Wayne Meadows breaks down the twisted game of child support — where one person pays $200 and another pays $1,000, and falling behind just two grand can turn you into a felon. He shares a piece of his own story: how after getting a raise and having child support bumped up to $918/month, he got laid off just two weeks later. Then came the fight with unemployment, a judge who ignored the layoff, and a system that punished him for trying to do right. This episode is real talk about the courts, the government, and the traps they set for working people — especially fathers. If you’ve ever felt like the system was built to break you, you’re not crazy — and you’re not alone. If you enjoy the show and want to support it, feel free to donate via Cash App: $bikelife900rr.
