What is said at 24:58
"We should legislate based on reality and not on the longstanding fictional narrative that non-custodial parents don't want to pay child support. Most non-custodial parents struggling with child support lack good jobs that allow them to pay without being forced into poverty. And they are reluctant to use their limited income to pay support that is not given to their children."

What they argue
Argues nonpayment mostly reflects inability to pay, and urges full pass-through of support to families, an end to charging child support for foster care, and employment services for noncustodial parents.
