Project Child Support Talk Show
The Custodial Support Forum ran as a weekly television show hosted by Kai Patterson to help parents deal with the challenges related to child support. The talk show provides custodial parent and noncustodial parents solutions to receiving and paying child support. It was created to educate custodial parents who are owed child support and provide noncustodial parents resources to help them resolve their child support problems. Each episode of the Custodial Support Forum tackles one of the many problems that has enabled the more than 37.5 million custodial parents not to receive adequate child support. This talk show was produced by students in conjunction with Cablevision.
