Important Information and relevant links:
Child Support:
Title IV-D program works. Suppose a father is required to pay $40 a month in child support. The state ensures that $40 is collected. Under the Title IV-D program, the federal government provides matching funds to the state based on the amount of child support collected. In this case, the federal government might match that $40, effectively doubling the funds going into the system. This creates a financial incentive for the state to enforce child support obligations, as they receive federal funds that match the collected amounts. This is how the program encourages enforcement and helps states raise money while supporting families.
Here is the decision that was made on the Paul Hunter v. Jeff Leggett case:
Paul Hunter's case was dismissed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The court affirmed the dismissal, ruling that the federal court did not have jurisdiction over his claims. This was due to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, which prevents federal courts from reviewing state court judgments. Hunter had challenged a state court order related to unpaid child support, including a contempt order and garnishment of his unemployment benefits and tax refunds. The court ruled that his constitutional claims were barred, and his statutory claims were also dismissed.
In short, the court affirmed the dismissal, and Paul Hunter did not win the case.
Here is the information you requested about 45 CFR and child support regulations:
45 CFR refers to Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which deals with public welfare. It includes federal rules and guidelines that govern child support enforcement programs. These regulations are established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to ensure that state-run child support programs comply with uniform standards across the nation. They cover areas like establishing paternity, setting and modifying child support orders, collecting and distributing payments, and enforcing support obligations. In essence, 45 CFR ensures consistency, efficiency, and fairness in child support enforcement activities.

In this episode of the Walt Weekly Podcast, Walter Latham discusses pressing issues including federal workforce layoffs, the implications of the Bureau of Labor Statistics under the Trump administration, the impact of automation and AI on job markets, political strategies in Texas, and concerns regarding government spending and disaster preparedness.
Here’s some background information regarding the recent downward revision of nonfarm payroll job numbers by the BLS. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently revised job growth figures for May and June downward significantly. This aligns with a larger trend influenced by three key factors:
1. Federal government layoffs: Over 300,000 government positions have been cut so far in 2025, driven largely by restructuring efforts under the current administration.
2. AI adoption: The rise of automation and generative AI is leading to a significant number of private sector job cuts. Look at Wells Fargo eliminating trade support positions and white collar jobs.
3. Tariffs: New tariffs are disrupting trade-related industries, leading to further job losses across various sectors.
These combined factors have put downward pressure on job numbers, even though it might seem counterintuitive given other economic indicators.
