Family Court Fury: Cash, Corruption & a Call for Change
There’s an earthquake in America’s family courts—and parents are done staying quiet. On a Special Report of The Unknown Podcast, investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe sit down with whistleblowing mom-turned-reporter and podcaster Maryann Petri to expose a cash-for-kids system fueled by Title IV-D money. Petri’s life was shattered by false CPS claims and financial ruin—but she fought back. What emerges is a damning portrait of courts that profit from broken families—and a growing national movement demanding accountability, shared parenting, and real reform before more children are destroyed.
