In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Undeletable Dad Podcast, Tracy Poizner sits down with Ron Platt - serial entrepreneur, foster father, and systems-level advocate for families navigating divorce and parental alienation. Ron shares the personal journey that led him to create the first divorce insurance product of its kind, alongside a national membership organization designed to support single and divorced families holistically — financially, emotionally, and structurally. This episode is essential listening for fathers who want to protect their relationship with their children, even when life throws unexpected obstacles in the way. Ron’s foster parenting journey How becoming a foster father reshaped his understanding of family, permanence, boundaries, and advocacy — and what it taught him about children who’ve experienced trauma and instability. Why traditional systems fail divorced families From courts to child support enforcement to mental health access, Ron breaks down where the cracks are — and why parents often fall through them. The creation of Divorce Insurance (Support Insured) A groundbreaking insurance product that ensures child support and alimony payments continue in situations where the paying parent: Dies Becomes disabled Is involuntarily unemployed Declares business bankruptcy This protection prevents parents from being labeled “deadbeats” due to circumstances beyond their control — and protects children from sudden financial disruption. How Support Insured actually works Affordable annual premiums Coverage tied only to court-ordered support amounts Up to 12 months of continued payments during hardship Available to either parent Why this matters for fathers facing high-conflict divorce Financial collapse often leads to loss of parenting time, court sanctions, and alienation. This product helps fathers stabilize during crisis — without losing access to their children.

Divorce doesn’t just separate families — it exposes them to financial, emotional, and institutional risk. This episode shines a light on practical solutions, not platitudes. Ron Platt isn’t theorizing — he’s building infrastructure that protects parents and children when life doesn’t go according to plan.
