by Rachel Kay
Deadbeat Dad by Design examines how family court systems quietly incentivize conflict, financially punish involved fathers, and erode parent–child relationships over time. Hosted by a wife who witnessed the system firsthand, this podcast explores child support structures, litigation abuse, parental alienation, and the emotional toll on families. This podcast focuses on systemic patterns—not personal attacks or legal advice.
