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 the amount of support received is less than the public assistance grant, the State will retain the child support as reimbursement. If support exceeds the grant, the grant will be discontinued and the support will be forwarded to the other parent.


Is it true that if you are on public assistance you dont have to pay child support?

Can the state pay child support if the father will not?

The state does not pay child support. However if you require public assistance the state will automatically go after child support, and even if you do not require public assistance you can file for help with the Office of Child Support and often their services are free. The father may not pay voluntarily but a court action will require him to.


Does receiving welfare make you exempt from paying child support?
