No as he can't do that. Not even the courts have the authority to exempt the man from paying child support when Welfare is involved. The mother has no say or authority over the child support. She forfeited that right when signing up. She would have to first give up her claim to Welfare benefits before any action could be taken on child support.
I am pretty sure it would be the mother's responsibility since she is the one who is getting welfare by fraud.
Yes, though only 7 out of 1000 ever pay it.
I'm in KCMO. A judge has to approve it and the mother cannot be on welfare now or in the future.
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.
In the same manner if not. see link
Only Welfare
Only if he's included in the claim.
No, Welfare will file, plus the father can file an order, as he should. see link

Yes.
Yes, if the father has more time with the child than the mother, she will owe him child support.
Yes. Pay up.
Yes, if there was a court order in place requiring support and it was not suspended/terminated during the father's incarceration.
Yes, though only 7 out of 1000 ever pay it.
If you're in the US, no, a child cannot sue his parent for child support (payment for child support is not due to the child).
Never was he on government welfare. He did have to rely on the welfare of his mother's sisters and their husbands after his father and mother both died while he as a child.
If your father was given total custody of you and your brother then he could go to court to get you back. However, (and you would have to ask your mother this) if your mother and father have joint custody (such as you or your brother seeing your mother on spring break or other holidays) then child support would continue as was instructed by the courts. If your father had total custody and your mother never saw you, then she could file for partial child support. I know it's confusing, but simply put, if your father doesn't pay your mother child support she should see at least Child Welfare regarding this matter and your father should be paying her some child support regarding you. Good luck hon Marcy
