·14 min·1 clip

A proposed law in Argentina could suspend parental rights for fathers who miss child support payments for three consecutive months.

The episode begins by introducing the topic of vicarious violence, often affecting women, linked to parental non-compliance with child support in Argentina. It mentions a proposed law, similar to one in Mexico, that would temporarily suspend parental responsibility for parents who fail to pay support for three consecutive months. Agustina, a guest, shares a detailed case her team is handling in Jujuy's courts, where a father initiated custody but never complied with visitation agreements, using the child as leverage. She explains how mothers are revictimized by having to provide extensive proof of non-payment and absence, citing an example where a mother couldn't travel urgently because the father refused to sign an authorization while on vacation. The discussion shifts to legal aspects, noting Argentina's existing Law 13.944 that penalizes lack of child support but is rarely applied due to judicial bias. Agustina points out that children often lie in court to protect their parents, leading to guilt and harm, and mentions psychological evaluations as part of the process. The conversation broadens to include cases where men also suffer in similar situations, attributing it to machismo. It highlights a scenario where grandparents are forced to pay child support if parents don't, with a specific story of a grandfather supporting three grandchildren from different mothers without seeing them for years. Agustina compares this to Brazilian law, emphasizing that responsibility should be non-transferable but practical needs often override this. She critiques how laws, while well-intentioned, fail in practice due to human creativity in avoiding obligations. Finally, she notes that such legal cases can take up to five months, which is urgent for children's well-being, and shares that in her case, the child had to stay with a grandmother temporarily due to travel issues.
