Childs support

[Momma2b125]

oksy mommies and I don't know how this all works exactly... I do not want child's support from my child's father. Do I have to have it or

[Momma2b125]

And thank you rock rose that helps a lot

[Momma2b125]

The lady on the phone told me if he's actively paying he gets rights.

If your on welfare and the babies father isn't on your case they  will go after him

[chantanmore]

just so you know child support has nothing to do with the rights of the Father it's too separate things all togetherso even if he's paying you it doesn't mean he has rights if the reason is for reasons that he's doing drugs or what not

[RockRose]

Welfare is kind of the broad umbrella that covers WIC,  medicaid,  food stamps,  etc.

If I understand it right,  once your baby is born the father will be automatically put on child support if you want to continue medicaid - but you really need to get real information from your medicaid provider.

Best wishes.

Most thing that the state or federal helps you with financially, usually will make you file it against him if you don't say he helps with the baby or if you say you guys don't live together. It's a new thing I think.

[Momma2b125]

I've just never done any of this before so I just need advice!

[Momma2b125]

What do you consider "welfare"

[Momma2b125]

My baby is on Medicaid right now, but that's it. I thought about daycare help but I don't have too. I don't want him having rights that's why I'm asking. I don't want child's support from him at all.

If your on welfare u have to get it.  They automatically take it fromnhim once the baby is born

No you don't if you have medicaid tho after the babies 1st year they will make you put him on it but if you have your own insurance then you have nothing to worry about

[cuppycake225]

No you don't have to get it. You have to file for it in order To get it.

[RockRose]

No,  you don't.  

If you can support yourself,  or your family can support you fully without any welfare,  you aren't obligated to file for child support.

But if you file for various forms of welfare,  they will go after him for child support.
