What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Ok here is the deal i have going on. The mother of my daughter orginal had custody of my daughter and i just had visitation. Then she got in trouble for drugs and other things and my daughter was placed in emergency custody with my daughters great grandmother. I found out that during that time i should not have been paying Tanf(is there a way for me to get that money back) i got it stopped in November. The great grand mother had custody from about May until December. At the support hearing for my arrears in December the State was made aware of the custody situation as it had been stopped by the CS office and i was almost all the way caught up on my support and the state said just pay the remaining amount you owe the case was closed that day. The judge was happy and removed it from the docket. Also in December i finaly gained 50/50 physical custody. There is also a order of joint legal custody between myself, the mother and the great grand mother. Shortly after the custody hearing the mother went back to dss and reapplied for TANF. The thing is my daughter is not with the mother a full 26 weeks of her half of the year due to the fact she must be supervised while around my daughter. When my daughters mother goes back to work during amusment park season on those days my daughter stays with the great grand mother. So due to those factors my daughter is with me all of my 26 weeks out of the year. The mother does not work she collects a check for disability for mental problems. Is there any thing i can do about this with these factors it makes me 100% financially liable for my daughter.
Any help would be appreciated. Hope i have enough info for help with this issue.
