What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada / Oklahoma
I currently live in Nevada. the Child Support case is in Oklahoma.
This is a multi-part question.
I owe past child support, Not my child, but OK says they don't care I'm on the birth certificate. I have had multiple heart attacks and have been told by the doctors that I probably won't live to see my sophomore graduate from high school. I am trying to get assistance from Voc Rehab to get retrained into something I can do with my condition. I am now in arrears on back and current child support and unable to make payments. They have gone so far as to levy my bank account which is currently negative $800. When I was fired my employer falsified documents so I couldn't collect unemployment. When I found a lawyer to take the case they filed bankruptcy.
I do not have any income, My wife does not work (no one will hire her, been unemployed too long taking care of my son) my power, phone, water and everything else gets shut off in less than 3 weeks.
Do not get me wrong, I want to work I am willing to pay the child support for a child that is not mine (DNA proves it, and I have not seen in atleast 10 years) But If I am not working I can't.
Since I am in arrears on child support will I lose my Vocational Rehabilitation support? Can my wife still collect welfare for us and my 5 yr old? Do I need to divorce my current wife and live on the street so she can get some help until she can get a job?
