Some truths can’t be sugar-coated. This episode is one of them.
In A Special Place in Hell, Vigil delivers his most raw and unfiltered episode to date—calling out the dark reality that many fathers silently endure: when mothers turn children into weapons, and the court system hands them the ammunition.
From personal testimony to real-world cases across the U.S., this episode exposes how child support, custody arrangements, and legal systems are often used not to protect children—but to punish fathers. You’ll hear about:
• Court-ordered visitations denied without consequence
• Fathers jailed over minor missed payments
• Military dads losing custody while deployed
• Men paying for children proven not to be theirs
• Support orders based on “potential income,” not reality
• North Dakota’s brutal 3-year review lockout policy
• 50% wage garnishments while living below the poverty line
Backed by scripture and built on the lived pain of thousands, this isn’t just a podcast episode—it’s a reckoning.
