    Rethinking Child Support with Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido

    In this episode of Perkins for the People, Detroit Attorney Todd Perkins sits down with Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido to unpack Michigan’s $312 million child support crisis—and a bold new vision to fix it. Lucido outlines a first-of-its-kind child support specialty court, designed to help parents behind on payments get jobs, avoid felonies, and support their families. Together, he and Perkins explore how family dynamics, rehabilitation, and mental health must take center stage in true justice reform. They also get real about cultural understanding, integrity in public service, and what it means to build the next generation of leaders—with accountability, not punishment. This is more than policy—it’s people-powered change.  Because Detroit deserves better—and we’re going to build it.
