In this episode of The Modern Arizona Podcast, host Billie Tarascio sits down with Ron Platt, co-founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families (NASDF), to unpack a revolutionary concept: Support Insurance—a financial safety net for divorced and single-parent households that covers child support and alimony in cases of death, disability, or job loss.
Ron shares the deeply personal story behind NASDF’s creation, how a conversation with his late father sparked a 25-year journey, and how NASDF is more than just insurance—it’s a nationwide support system offering resources for legal help, real estate, mental health, and even school supplies. Plus, learn how NASDF is planning to push foster care reform and develop accessible legal credit tools for families navigating financial uncertainty.
💡 Whether you're divorced, a single parent, a co-parent, or someone rebuilding after a tough relationship, NASDF might just be the support system you didn’t know existed.
• What is support insurance and how does it work?
• Why NASDF is like an AARP for single/divorced families
• Legal and financial support options through NASDF
• The real-life story of navigating foster care as a single parent
• How advocacy, lived experience, and niche insurance intersect
• Healthy relationships after divorce—why self-work matters
