End corruption in the family court system
Protect kids. Open the dockets. Hold courts accountable.
Watch — Children First
The argument
Children are too often caught in a system that protects insiders instead of kids. Matt will champion the CHILD Protection Act — Corruption Hiding Inside Legal Dockets — and push federal oversight that ties Title IV-D grant money to states that keep their family courts clean.
Signature legislation
The CHILD Protection Act of 2027
CHILD stands for Corruption Hiding Inside Legal Dockets. The proposal calls for federal oversight that ties Title IV-D federal grant money to state family-court compliance — using the federal grant program as the lever for accountability. Clean, accountable courts keep the federal check; corrupt ones don't.
