The Double Standard of Family Court: Enforcing Support, Ignoring Custody

    By Michael Phillips | The Thunder Report & Father & Co. On June 30, 2025, the Maryland Supreme Court issued a sweeping, unanimous decision in In the Matter of the Marriage of Houser, affirming that parents cannot waive child support—even by mutual agreement—because child support is a right of the child, not a bargaining chip between parents.

In the lyrics, he found a haunting mirror of his custody battle: the confusion, the emotional wreckage, and the systemic injustice. Family court, he says, isn’t a place of resolution—it’s a war zone dressed in robes. His battle isn’t over territory, but over time with his son. This isn’t just his war. It’s a national tragedy played out in courtrooms every day. And for him, Civil War isn’t a song—it’s a siren screaming for justice.
