How does child welfare work?
Child welfare means (the well being of a child) The question is too broad. Has the child been beaten up? neglected? verbally abused? or any other things done that do not appear normal? call the police department and ask for a child advocate or talk to a teacher church pastor human resources person if you have a job. or give more details on the question? In the United States, child welfare is administered on a state level with some states having separate county administrations. The scope of the child welfare system within each state varies. In some cases, it may include juvenile justice and mental health services. In other states, child welfare deals only/specifically with child abuse and neglect cases. They may take child abuse referrals, assess the situation, and make a determination about the need for services and/or foster care services. Ultimately, a judge decides if a child needs to be removed from the care of their parent or guardian, with recommendations from a state caseworker and possibly attorneys and other service providers. Many state child welfare systems coordinate removals of children with law enforcement. In most states, the child welfare agency makes the assessment but a few do have law enforcement do the assessment and actual physical removal of children. Child welfare systems are a complex collaboration that varies from state to state. You can find more information about specific states by looking on their state website or see the Related Link below

Can primary parent get child support from disabled parent on welfare?
The non-custodial parent will still owe child support, even if he or she is disabled and on welfare. However, most states will not garnish needs-based assistance such as disability or welfare payments. So if the parent is not working and does not pay his or her court-ordered child support, it would be difficult for the state to collect. He or she might still be arrested and jailed for failure to pay.
