My fiance is on Social Security disability. He is legally blind. He has complete legal and physical custody of his three children. DFS took them away from their alcoholic mother two years ago. She see them once a week for one hour supervised visits. He receives a total of $758 dollars for his three children from Social Security. She has a full time job as a nurse. She pays NO child support nor does she provide any medical insurance. Currently they are on medicaid. We were told this is because the Social Security Benefits take the place of her obligation. This does not seem right to us. We love these kids and are glad that they are now in a safe environment. We are making it month to month, but it does not seem right that she does have to not contribute a dime to their welfare. We take them to the courthouse every week for their visit with their mother, and are not even compensated for travel and parking expenses. We live in Missouri.
