Too often court-ordered alimony, child support, and settlement amounts never reach the woman and children — or are used to enable stalking and financial abuse. 4Sistership aims to become a recognized trusted organization with escrow accounts that collect, oversee, and pass funds to the household accounts involved.
Design intent
- Third-party receipt, collection, and disbursement
- Reduced direct financial contact with abusers
- Clear audit trail for courts and families
- Stage names and address protection tied to money movement
Policy horizon
- Structure now toward collection-agency / credit-bureau qualification where law allows — unpaid support should hit credit
- Align with 2015/2016 judicial guidance that alimony and child support can be managed by a third-party organization
- Sister4Sister asset and resource exchange layered on top of formal escrow
- Keep closed-loop project grants separate from endowment operating use
