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.
