Why can the state go after child support if you're on public assistance?

The state can try to recoup what they pay out by going after the non-supporting parent. Parents have the legal responsibility of supporting their children financially. A custodial parent who is receiving public assistance is being supported by the taxpayer. The non-custodial parent should be pursued to pay that back.

How is child support determined if you support your kids with no government assistance but the mother gets government assistance?
In general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. Whether or not the other parent/child receives public assistance is not relevant to this calculation.

If support exceeds the grant, the grant will be discontinued and the support will be forwarded to the other parent.
