Summary
A decades-old government policy forcing only one parent to receive child support—even in 50-50 custody arrangements—is sparking outrage and a legal challenge. Despite its original goal of preventing abuse, the system ignores real family dynamics, leaving many caregivers financially stranded. Parents report living in tents, feeling abandoned by a system that devalues their care. Advocates argue outdated tech and bureaucracy shouldn’t justify unfairness, while the Minister insists no changes are coming—despite mounting evidence of human suffering.
