Federal dollars are paying to keep families apart. Tell Congress to stop it.
Two programs in the Social Security Act — Title IV-D and Title IV-E — send states roughly $14 billion a year in open-ended federal reimbursements tied to child support caseloads and out-of-home placements. The more separation, the more federal money. We're asking Congress to repeal both.

What we're asking Congress to do
The federal government cannot audit its way out of a funding structure that pays states to break families apart. The CAPS Movement asks Congress to end the perverse incentive at its source — and to make families whole. Our platform stands on four pillars:
1. Repeal Title IV-D and IV-E
Strike both programs from the Social Security Act — a clean repeal. Ending the open-ended federal reimbursement that rewards litigation, enforcement caseloads, and out-of-home placements shuts off the engine at its source.
2. Clean Break Divorce
The Clean Break model ends the war at dissolution: marital assets split fairly, shared parenting as the default, and — for an ex-spouse without a job — a short, limited courtesy maintenance to get back on their feet. No open-ended child support, no perpetual court supervision, no return trips to the courthouse.
3. Accountability & due process
End categorical immunity for family court judges, evaluators, and agency workers. When the people who run this system break the law and harm families, they should answer for it like anyone else.
4. Family Restoration & Reimbursement Act
Create a federal fund to compensate families with documented financial losses caused by unjustified or excessive family-court litigation and related government actions — restoring what the system took.
