when nothing becomes legal something: a flowchart.

an aesthetic PSA—clarity, not chaos; notice, not threat

someone fills out a simple aid form:

coverage ➔ assistance ➔ support

step ① — the quiet click
they complete a questionaire
⬜ zip code
⬜ household size
⬜ income

algorithm buzzes → coverage unlocked

step ② — first ripple
child auto-enrolled 🍼
next screen asks:
⬜ other parent in the home?
⬜ existing support order?
⬜ payment history?

boxes checked → system starts stitching threads

step ③ — document dive
if support exists, the file expands:
⟡ filing courthouse & state
⟡ any appearance / postponement
⟡ linked paperwork:
 ☑ divorce terms
 ☑ custody clauses
 ☑ restraining-order provisions
 ☑ sealed / open investigations

if any item sits within the statute of the current state → the file marches on

step ④ — numbers in motion
(let’s just say the lowest possible amount)
• order entered: late january
• weekly rate: $87
• today: early june

≈ $1,740 accumulating 💸
(no contempt filed; grace still in effect—clock still counting)

step ⑤ — timeline of calm consequences
✔︎ days 1-30 missed → noted
✔︎ days 31-60 delinquent flag → SSN tagged
✔︎ days 61-90 eligible → license / passport / tax holds
✔︎ days 91-180 retro fees → civil contempt filing
✔︎ day 181 + willful non-compliance → possible criminal route (especially with RO terms attached)

each checkbox ticks itself—no extra hands required

gentle reminder
one postponed hearing + a signed restraining order = locked jurisdiction.
orders stay live, obligations stay real.
even the minimum—$87/week—grows when unpaid.

no malice—just transparency.
read the paperwork,
clear the balance,
keep it simple.

because silence accrues interest,
and systems eventually speak louder than we ever will.
and we don’t want that.

(we actually don’t. zero sarcasm)
stop ducking.
it’s going to make it worse.
