End use of AF for Child Support

[pekawrecker]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TEXAS

Mom and Dad have decided they do not want to use the AG for Child Support. Mom called AG tin which, they told her because she is on Medicaid (DOES NOT RCV TANF) that they cannot drop her, but if it does happen she will have to provide documentation to ever get it again. It was assumed for TANF or CCDS you must have an open case with AG however mom has neither only Medicaid. Is this correct legal information and or is that any other case law etc that states otherwise. Thank you!

Please have mom and/or dad log on and post their own questions.

If you cannot provide legal advice please do not post. I find it unnecessary to be too personal. Thank you!

The majority of the Child Support Division’s incoming cases do not have established paternity or child support orders. These cases take longer to process than cases with established paternity and child support orders. Private child support collection agencies and county domestic relations offices generally handle only cases with established paternity and existing child support orders.

The Office of the Attorney General is required to provide child support services to all families applying for services. Services musl also be provided to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Medicaid families referred to the Child Support Division by the Texas Heath and Human Services Commission. Moreover, the Child Support Division provides a full range of child support services. The division’s caseload is very large — much larger than that of any private collection agency. Therefore, private agencies may be able to process some cases more quickly. This must be balanced against the cost of using a private agency."

It does NOT state that they must remain on a Medicaid case, only that they must help to get services? Would that be correct to imply from this article?

Please feel free to have mommy or daddy post. You have no dog in this fight.

If the custodial parent no longer receives TANF or Medicaid and wishes to discontinue child support enforcement services, the case will be reviewed for case closure. In most instances, payments on closed cases will continue to be processed by the State Disbursement Unit until further order of the court.


Great I finally found it. Thanks for the help Zigner!

wow. This forum has some cranky pants! He sounded like he was asking for ... advice? Is there a rule that people can't ask advice for others? Not everyone has internet access, you know.

There, I've made a non-relevant point as well. I will fit in here.
