Do you have to pay child support if custodial parent receives food stamps?

Not to that parent. Any money must go to Welfare, so contact child support enforcement to get the money diverted. If you're paying without a court order, those are not considered child support. see links below
Recipients of food stamps (now SNAP) and Medicaid do not assign their child support rights to the State - this happens only for recipients of cash assistance. In any case, do not give money directly to the custodial parent/obligee unless you're willing to write it off as a gift.

If a mother receives child support does she automatically have custody of the children?
The child support is to "support the child"...figure it out.
Is it okay if mother gets child support and food stamps and is a RN?
Public assistance such as EBT cards are granted based upon the applicant's income, the number of persons in the family and so forth. There are millions of people known as the "working poor" who, although gainfully employed do not earn enough to pay for essentials such as food after other debts have been paid. Child support has no connection with whether or not a custodial parent receives public assistance such as "food stamps". Child support is exactly what the term implies, support of a minor child/children not the adults in the household.
Is child support in Texas retroactive?
Yes. Here is the link to read on this yourself. http://www.oag.state.tx.us/cs/parents/faq.shtml#behind Yes if the child support is behind since the court date and the date the Child Support was entered into court, then that past due child support is to be paid by the non custodial parent. Usually it is more then the normal monthly or weekly payment such as: The non custodial parent owes 200.00 a week in child support payments. But is behind 2000.00 dollars. So the Child Support Enforcement will send you 250.00 dollars a week, if you are not collecting any welfare support for your child, TANF or Food Stamps and are working steady.. IF the non custodial parent gets a lump sum payment of any sort, lottery winnings, Federal and State Taxes.. that will go to you for the behind amount owed. So yes. It is retroactive though you will not get it until the child support is paid by the non custodial parent pays. And this is in most states not just Texas.

A woman gets temporary guardianship of her sister's child and all she gets is a TANF check for her. Can she also get food stamps and child support from the biological parents?
Generally speaking, a TANF (Temporary Assistance For Needy Families- US) check is issued to a parent who cannot locate their child's noncustodial parent. The noncustodial parent must repay the amount of TANF checks that were issued. In any case, the woman can get food stamps from the state for the child if she has proof of temporary guardianship. She can get child support accordingly through the court that issued the temporary guardianship order.
