Welcome to this episode of Feel Good Fatherhood, where we'll dive deep into the intricacies of child support, the evolving workforce, and the vital role of trade skills. Today we're joined by Lance Hillsinger, a seasoned child welfare social worker and author of several insightful books including "Build A Better Bridge" and "Beyond Amelia.”
In this episode, Lance sheds light on the impact of child support distribution, advocating for funds to be directed toward the child rather than the parent. We'll address the lack of incentives for fathers to participate in the mainstream economy and explore the minimal burden it places on government finances.
Join us for an eye-opening conversation that not only highlights the pressing issues in our child welfare and economic systems but also offers practical solutions and hope for a better future.
