Can Child Support and Alimony Be Insured? | Ron Platt

What happens when personal experience, family advocacy, and a decades-long idea come together to create something families truly need?

In this episode of Dishing on Divorce, Mandy and Deanna welcome Ron Platt, CEO and co-founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families, also known as NASDF.

Ron shares the deeply personal experiences that inspired him to create an organization dedicated to supporting people navigating divorce and life in a single-family household. From his own long-term toxic relationship to his experience as a foster and adoptive parent, Ron saw firsthand how difficult it can be for families to find practical resources before reaching a crisis point.

The conversation explores the wide range of NASDF membership benefits, including mental health support, career resources, real estate savings, family discounts, and access to a dedicated divorce concierge service.

Ron also explains Support Insured, an innovative product designed to help protect court-ordered child support and alimony payments when the paying party dies, becomes disabled, experiences involuntary unemployment, or faces business bankruptcy.

They also discuss healing after divorce, the importance of taking time before entering a new relationship, journaling, meditation, and learning to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

This heartfelt and hopeful conversation is about much more than divorce. It is about creating stability, finding the right support, and empowering families to move forward with greater confidence.
