It lays out how these systems are structured in ways that render them ineffective, while positioning women as responsible for their failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book charts the demise of child support as a feminist intervention, resituating it as gendered governance practice that operates by making the system inaccessible, failing to deliver outcomes, and condoning fathers' irresponsibility. It identifies how the gender order is entrenched through child support failure and offers possibilities for feminist reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kay Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447348869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447348863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Kay Cook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127847088383,"sku":"9781447348863","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1900d990-b71b-4166-9218-bdd3efcde9fd.jpg?v=1687455577","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-failure-of-child-support-kay-cook-9781447348863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
