Think the justice system always gets it right? Think again. In this shocking story, one man says he was never in court, never agreed to adopt these children, and yet he’s still being forced to pay child support. Even more unbelievable—he says the judge ignored the facts and let it happen anyway. If this is true, it raises serious questions about what’s happening in Kent County’s 17th Circuit Court in Grand Rapids, Michigan. You have to hear this story for yourself.

In this episode, Jamie returns to share what happened after his initial court involvement.He describes being removed from a supervised visitation program, only to be ordered into another program that, according to him, was not properly operating or licensed at the time. This left him confused, frustrated, and without a clear path to continue seeing his child.Both the host and Jamie also reflect on the role of faith and what they believe to be guidance from a higher power as they navigate these challenges.Throughout the conversation, Jamie shares his perspective that supervised visitation can sometimes feel less like support and more like a barrier—raising difficult questions about how these programs are used and how decisions are made when it comes to parent-child access.This episode highlights the uncertainty, emotional toll, and unanswered questions many parents say they face within the system.
