In Pennsylvania, the Father would have to pay around $460.00 a month, if working a minimum wage job. Which would make that $5,520.00 a year.
The father is responsible for paying at least the state mandated minimum in support regardless of what type of income or assistance the mother has. That is considered her portion of support, child support is yours.

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.
It's called Welfare.

If the term "was" indicates that the biological father of the child/children is still residing in the family home, then the answer to the question is, No. One of the issues considered when child support is awarded is the financial and living status the child/children would have had if the parents had stayed together. The issue of a SO or spouse not working to support his or her child is in most cases in most cases is not a legal matter when said person lives in the same residence, unless the family is fraudulently receiving public assistance. Likewise whether or not a non biological parent supports a child/children living in his or her household in matters not related to necessities (food, medical care, clothing, etc.) is a moral issue not a legal one.
