In a world where love, law, and livelihood collide, The Child Support Deficit: Where Policy Meets Parenthood pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood systems in America. Through a powerful blend of personal truth, policy insight, and social commentary, Eshe Oluchi exposes how child support, meant to sustain families, often deepens the divide between them.Drawing from lived experience, historical context, and modern data, The Child Support Deficit examines the cost of raising children in a nation that undervalues care work, motherhood, and the unseen labor of parenting. From the shrinking safety nets that once caught struggling families to the policies that pit parents against each other, this book reveals how systemic design, not individual failure, created the crisis.But this is not just about policy; it is about people. Eshe's voice cuts through the noise with raw honesty and compassion, reclaiming the narrative from stereotypes like "deadbeat dads" and "welfare queens." She brings humanity back to the conversation, calling for reform rooted in dignity, balance, and the shared responsibility of care.For single parents, advocates, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of economics and empathy, The Child Support Deficit is both a mirror and a roadmap. It challenges readers to rethink what true provision looks like and how a more just system can be built when we start valuing the invisible work that sustains the world.
