I wonder how this would work if one parent lived in the Federation and one lived, with the child, in a capitalist society.
Would they be out of luck? Would the Federation pay out on the absent parent's behalf(we already know they have reserves of other currencies, and also have "Federation credits" for trade with capitalist societies)?
The UFP has a currency - Federation Credits. The average citizen may not need (or even have) money, but it exists and is presumably accessible in some way if you have genuine need. For example the station personnel on DS9 never had issues paying at Quark's, so one can assume that they did get a salary because they were posted to a capitalist environment. I'd assume that child support would work on a similar "as needed" basis.
Feddits appear to be a stable currency at first until the chief administrator disappears in the neutral zone and is rumoured to be a prisoner on Romulus. Then the federation needs to restart feddits as feddit.org.
I suppose the child gets a claim to any personal effects of the parent. If the parents role in society offers any boons not available to an ordinary citizen maybe those too.
But in this situation it would probably just be a free shot at joining Starfleet.
There isn't, except when there is. And when there is, they're called credits, but you can't spend them in the Federation, except (I guess) at starbases like Space Station K7, so it's not entirely clear why other governments consider them to have value.
I just wanted you to know that I save these for later, and having the captions be several seconds into the gif is part of the humor. But damn does it make it hard to find/remember which ones have which burn in them.
Mmm, a warrior's drink.

Dont they usually barter? Supplies, technology, latinum for the Ferengi, alliances and protections?
I wouldn't call the Federation a society of excess, but they always have something others will want they will trade for.

You legend.
I wonder what child support looks like in a post scarcity society.
I suppose the child gets a claim to any personal effects of the parent. If the parents role in society offers any boons not available to an ordinary citizen maybe those too.

In the future we have evolved beyond the need for currency
WORF!
Man I really didn't like how they made worf a bad dad.
What's more, no mention of his relationship with Alexander after he'd achieved inner peace. Just wrote him off in his head and all was well.
There is no money in Earth society or the Federation.

That's it, I NEED a show all about the bureaucracy of the federation so we can settle all these edge cases once and for all lol
Like a Star Trek: The Office
I want this, but not a comedy.
How about one that starts out as a comedy but then pulls an Orville
What about on the Klingon home world? What's that world called anyways?
Qo'noS.
No idea.
This template has potential
There's no capitalism in star trek though
I present... the Ferengi.
Don't forget the 10th Rule of Acquisition: Greed is eternal
Knew I'd saved this somewhere.

To be fair most ferengi are annoying pieces of shit you forget about until you are reminded of kind of like the game
