The mother should be responsible since she had custody. The child was under her roof and she should have to handle the situation. You just can't take the support and not be accountable for the child. If the father wants the child, the court should give him the right to have her at this time and the mother should pay him.
They give her welfare so she can support her child just like you have to support yours along with her mother. If she was not on welfare and without a job no one would support her child. So yes, until she is emancipated you have to provide for your child. I doubt they give her enough to pay rent, food, clothes, electrical bill etc that your money goes to.
no, you give up your claim for support by filing for Welfare. That is why most tell the father to just pay them cash, than tell welfare that they don't know where the father is, or who. When ush comes to shove, the father is the one punished, not her.
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
No, as they do it.
Welfare
No, as that is a separate commission from Welfare.
Yes.
Only Welfare
Generally, child support is based on income, not assets.
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.
No, Welfare will file, plus the father can file an order, as he should. see link
Yes, if the father has more time with the child than the mother, she will owe him child support.
It's called Welfare.
