Child Support/NCP on welfare

[novemberbride]

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

Recently, my ex filed paperwork to have child support modified. He filed a fake proof of service with the courts. I was never served with the motion, so I was not present at the hearing.

Timeshare is 37% with Dad, and 63% with me(mom). Dad doesn't work, nor does his new wife. The courts ordered an increase of support to $397. They based this amount on the fact that I am the working parent, and dad has a signifigant timeshare. I also pay all the medical, and childcare for our child.

I'm in the process of filing to have this corrected because I was never notified of the hearing, and because I am the custodial parent.

But, recently I found out that dad is on welfare. I've been told that the state can come after me to be reimbursed since I am paying child support. Anyone know if this is true?? Can a NCP file for welfare if they are recieving child support for their child?

just to clarify, you as the CP is ordered to pay the NCP $397?

Yes, it is.

Can a NCP file for welfare if they are recieving child support for their child?

Yes, they can, however, obviously, someone didn't tell them the kids didn't live with him.

 

[novemberbride]

That is correct.

 

[Isis1]

That is correct.

like CC stated, it doesn't seem the state can come after YOU for supporting him. you are supporting the children on YOUR time and HIS time. legally. you are not legally obligated to support him and his wife.

however, i did go down and file for medical/foodstamps myself so the office had a copy of the order stating i had custody of the children. this way, they had to stop the aid they were sending the FATHER and PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER. i didn't qualify, i just needed to inform them otherwise.

That's not what I stated.... not at all.

 

[novemberbride]

So, since he isn't the custodial parent, he wouldn't qualify for welfare?

 

[CourtClerk]

So, since he isn't the custodial parent, he wouldn't qualify for welfare?

That's not necessarily true, either.

Are you paying support directly to him or through the state?

 

[novemberbride]

I pay through the state. We had a case open from when he was ordered to pay child support to me, but never did.

 

[CourtClerk]

I pay through the state.

How did you find out dad was on welfare? Is it dad's case or his wife's case? Are the children on the case? How do you know?

We had a case open from when he was ordered to pay child support to me, but never did.

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything.....

Dad told me when he asked me for our daughter's social security number.
