In the world of curated victimhood and selective memory, Mark’s social media feed has become less about personal growth and more about performative deflection. His latest post is no exception.

This time, he shares a clip from The Fathers’ Rights Movement—a podcast segment where a guest rants passionately about the family court system being weaponized against men. The speaker paints a bleak picture: men being bled dry by attorneys, kicked out of homes they still pay mortgages on, and left legally powerless while women are “incentivized” to bankrupt them. According to the guest, it’s “the most sexist thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Cue Mark, clapping from the sidelines with his usual badge of martyrdom:
“Yup preach. #paidinfull”

But here’s where the entire narrative collapses under the weight of reality.

The Real Ledger

Let’s talk about what “paid in full” actually looks like in Mark’s case:

Accountability for restraining orders, contempt charges, and co-parenting obligations? Nonexistent.

Child Support? Not paid.

Court-ordered counseling and reunification requirements? Ignored.

Domestic violence and mental health assessments? Skipped.

Court fines and filing fees? Still outstanding. To date, Mark has paid a grand total of $200. Not per month. Not recently. Total.

The ledger. Summary of Unpaid Judgments (Across All Cases):

Source	Amount Owed	Status
Clark County (Family Law)	$37,749 & Increasing	Unpaid Child Support
Cowlitz County (Modification)	$10,750	Unpaid Attorney’s fees after being found abusive to his children
DVPO (Tori – Contempt Fine)	$8,000	Unpaid
Federal Tax Lien (IRS)	$34,136.15	Active
Total	$90,635.15+ interest	Overdue

And unfortunately for Mark, that one doesn’t lie.

That’s not a spiritual burden — that’s a financial one. And it’s not “the enemy trying to steal your joy.” It’s your own unpaid taxes, child support, and contempt fines coming due.

🚨 Let’s Break That Down:

• $37,749 is owed in unpaid child support to his sons — money meant to feed, clothe, and shelter them.
• $10,750 is court-awarded attorney’s fees — because Mark was found, after a CPS and GAL investigation, to pose a danger to his own children and a contempt charge for failing to follow court orders.
  • He’s paid just $200 toward that total.
• $8,000 is from a domestic violence protection order contempt — fines levied after violating court orders involving his ex-wife Tori.
• $34,136.15 is owed to the IRS under a federal tax lien — which remains active.

This is what Mark means #paidinfull

🙏 A Gospel of Avoidance

Mark often tells his followers that he’s “misunderstood,” “persecuted,” or just a “father trying to do right.”

But when two-thirds of your debt comes from refusing to support your children or pay taxes, that’s not persecution — that’s pattern.

He isn’t paying child support. He isn’t paying contempt fines. He isn’t settling his tax debt. Yet somehow, he’s always able to:

• Go on road trips,
• Post daily from parks, courts, and beaches,
• Film sermons about spiritual healing,
• And buy tanning oil in bulk.

🎭 The Real Cost of the Performance

This is the man who tells women “God told me you’re my wife,” while ignoring court orders and pretending he’s healed.

He frames his failures as spiritual warfare, but the truth is written in black and white on court ledgers. You can’t cast out what you keep repeating.

If character is measured by what you do when no one is watching — debt is what happens when everyone is watching, and you still don’t care.

The Hashtag Heard Round the Echo Chamber

The irony of “#paidinfull” is almost poetic. It’s a perfect example of Mark’s tendency to adopt the language of accountability without ever demonstrating the substance of it.

He’s not alone—there’s a growing trend of men who weaponize the fathers’ rights movement not to fight for fatherhood, but to dodge responsibility under the guise of systemic injustice. But while the podcast Mark shared raises some valid questions about flaws in the legal system, using it as a shield to excuse a decade-long pattern of contempt, evasion, and emotional damage is not advocacy—it’s opportunism.

---

Truth Doesn’t Need a Hashtag

The reality is, if Mark had spent even half as much time complying with the court’s clear expectations as he has curating his image online, his story might be different. He might be reconnecting with his kids, rebuilding trust, and showing—through action—what it means to show up.

Instead, he’s posting sermons he’s never lived, sharing quotes he doesn’t embody, and claiming receipts he’s never paid.

And no, Mark. That’s not paid in full.

That’s just emotionally bankrupt.

🧾 Final Thought: You Can’t Rebrand Debt

You can reframe your past. You can repackage your image.
But you can’t rebrand unpaid judgments.

Eventually, every sermon is interrupted by a knock at the door.

And it’s not the devil.
It’s the collections office.
