“Coercive control” is the latest legal scam masquerading as compassion. It’s a Rohrshach test dressed up as law—everyone sees whatever they want, and judges are handed unchecked discretion. That’s not an accident. This is about money. Title IV-D and VAWA funding reward systems that expand definitions, inflate allegations, and remove fathers faster. Vague terms like “patterns” and “unreasonable interference” are tailor-made for weaponized accusations in family court, where evidence barely matters. Once labeled an ‘abuser,’ you’re cooked—no charges, no conviction, no due process. Follow the incentives. When the definitions get fuzzier, the federal dollars get fatter.
