Ensure the money supports the child.
The Proposal
A dedicated card used exclusively for approved child-related purchases — just like WIC or EBT.
Funds restricted to food, clothing, school supplies, medical expenses, and housing costs.
Every transaction logged and visible — creating accountability and reducing disputes between parents.
The Impact
Builds trust between co-parents and reduces conflict over how funds are being used.
Ensures every dollar of support is actually spent on the child's needs — not diverted elsewhere.
Creates shared responsibility and gives the paying parent confidence their support is being used correctly.
WIC and EBT programs already do this successfully — the infrastructure and precedent exist.
What Happens to Leftover Funds
Any excess money at the end of each period flows directly into a dedicated savings account in the child's name.
The account earns interest over time, building a meaningful financial foundation for the child's future.
The child receives full access to their savings when they turn 18 — a head start on adulthood.
Help us push for transparent, child-first child support tracking in every state.
