24th century child support is literally just emotional support of your child. Taking them to holodeck baseball games, playing holo-catch, hanging their art up on the replicator control panel, that sort of thing.
âHey, you knocked me up 10 years ago and I consciously chose not to tell you until now. Give me 10 years worth of child support before I die in 2 months. Also the kid is now your burden responsibilityâ
Explain why no payments while he was on Deep Space 9. They explain in the first or second episode that Starfleet stationed there get a daily stipend of a few strips/slips (canât remember which) of latinum. Thatâs how they are able to eat at Quarkâs. He isnât giving shit away for free.
I like to imagine it would be like when you give a kid a little kitchen playset or a toy cash register (do they still make those?). All the Starfleet people going around like âooh, look, money tokens, how quaint. After our shift letâs go do a capitalism, lol.â
What does post scarcity child support look like? A replicator, some power banks, and a few stem bolts?

Child support = being a supportive father
Maybe theyâve gotten really spoiled by technology and have to divide up the âlaborâ of asking the replicator to make things for the kid.
If thereâs a problem that canât be solved with self-sealing stem bolts, Iâve not found it.
Itâs not Worf fault she told him about Alexander so close to her death. Was he supposed to pay up immediately?

Canât pay child support if your employer doesnât pay you.Â

âDeadbeat Protocol Alphaâ is a nice touch
Iâll bet anything that Worf is a secret Sovereign Citizen. Theyâre all trying to skip out on child support.
⊠but I was told there would be no money in the 24th century.
