Except, that I do. I told that OP to check the laws in her state. Everything I said about *my* state is absolutely correct. My state (Washington) does not start involuntary paternity actions as a result of the mother being on medicaid for the duration of her pregnancy. They only do so if mom is in TANF. I have three children, all born while I was on medcaid (the income limits are relatively high here for pregnancy medical) and none resulted in an involuntary paternity action. I even helped a friend who did not want to apply for medicaid based on the fact that her child's father and her lived together so no child support was needed; we asked, and (as I already knew) she was informed no involuntary paternity actions would be started. I'm quite certain his income was not taking into account due to the fact that they were not married at the time of her pregnancy. They have since married, and of course, his income was noted at that time.You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Please give only advice when you know.
