Child Support?!

I collaborated with the Resilience Advocacy Project (RAP) and designers WeShouldDoItAll to create a fold-out poster for young fathers navigating child support proceedings. This project was a part of the Center for Urban Pedagogy’s Making Policy Public series. The letter a young father gets telling him to show up to court is confusing, scary, and keeps many young fathers from showing up in court. But not appearing in court can have serious consequences. Without the father there to represent himself, judges can assign child support payments that the father can’t afford. This tool helps young fathers make their way through child support proceedings so that the can get a child support order he can afford.
